Hey,
just wanted to get some opinions from you to see if this really goes against good craftsmanship.
The kitchen is arriving soon, and until then I need to redo the floor and the walls. But cooking still has to happen (household of 5 people).
A colleague suggested leaving the tiles under the old kitchen in place and installing the new floor in front of them. That way, there would be no stress.
Assemble the new kitchen, then remove the old one and set up the new kitchen in place. The old tiles wouldn’t be visible anyway.
There is something to that, especially since my wife is already getting a bit anxious about not having the essential appliances available.

The old kitchen cabinets might have a slightly different depth. This could mean that the new floor may not extend far enough or might go too far under the cabinets. You also won’t be able to use the toe-kick drawer if you proceed this way. Additionally, the baseboard panel might not fit anymore without cutting it along the entire length.

No, the tiles need to be removed.
A colleague just asked if that might be an alternative to removing all the tiles completely. 🙂
Well, then we’ll have to divide the work into sections. Let’s see how it goes.
I’ve already found one problem. The person who installed the tiles back then wasn’t very precise and actually left a noticeable dent in one spot.
And I hadn’t really considered all the drawers—thanks for the suggestions.
