PULLING OUT YOUR OWN KITCHEN SAVES er ao D-CAN EVEN BRING IN EXTRA C READ ON FOR OUR EXPERT GUIDE » TQ A'SUSTAINABLE - AND SAFE - PROCESS DiC Ve Vat RUDY(el GING | hether you're DIY installing anew kitchen or having it done, dismantling the old one yourself can save big bucks when renovating. Plus, reuse and repurpose where possible to send your old kitchen onto its next life with a clearer conscience. Here's how to get the most out of a kitchen demo. Before picking up tools It pays to know the plan for the new kitchen before demolishing the old one, especially if you intend to save by designing it around the existing utilities. Monique Parker of Kaboodle 66 bunnings.com.au | (O) bunnings | ®) bunnings Kitchen recommends, “When pulling out your old kitchen it's a good idea to keep plumbing and electrical in the same spot — this will be more convenient and will save you money.” If you intend to keep the flooring, “Consider designing the new kitchen so cabinets cover the same surface area as the originals,” she says. “Rather than totally demolishing, uninstall it piece by piece to limit the damage.” Monique suggests keeping timber benches or doors in good condition for reuse as open shelving. “Undamaged cabinetry can also be repurposed for storage in other areas of the house.” But, she says, “Avoid reusing cabinets with any damage, especially water damage."
