The next day I rented a belt sander used for restoring hardwood floors and used it to get all the old grout off the floor. That was another big project.

Removing the Kitchen Floor
This job was awful. Possibly the worst part of the whole remodel so far. The tiles just wouldn't come up. I rented a jack hammer and my Dad and a friend Eric worked at it all day while I was at work. When I got home, 30% was still left, and it took me till very late to get that off. I don't think I took many pictures of that part. It was too frustrating.

Lastly, I used floor leveling compound on all the holes and gouges we put into the subfloor using the jackhammer and let that dry over night.
