# Kitchen Remodeling
 Huxley, IA

Huxley kitchens have a common story. Builder-grade cabinets with worn finishes, laminate countertops that have seen better days, and closed-off layouts that feel cramped for growing families. Most homes here were built in the 2000s and 2010s, which means the original finishes are now 12 to 20 years old and ready for a change.

Busy Builders remodels kitchens across Huxley and Story County, from cosmetic refreshes to mid-range remodels that open up layouts and upgrade electrical service. We handle [every phase of kitchen remodeling](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//), including structural assessment, permit coordination, and finish selection, so you have one point of contact from start to finish.

### Why Huxley
Homeowners Choose Us

Since 2020, Busy Builders has completed 1,285+ construction and remodeling projects across Central Iowa, including kitchen remodels throughout Story County and the surrounding communities.

Huxley kitchens present specific challenges that we identify at the walkthrough, not after demo begins. Open-concept conversions require a load-bearing wall assessment before a single measurement is drawn. Panel capacity at 100 to 150 amps is often adequate for cosmetic work but may need an upgrade when new circuits are added for a dishwasher, disposal, or refrigerator.

### Our Approach

We give Huxley homeowners a clear written scope before any demo begins. That includes an honest load-bearing assessment for any layout changes, a recommended 15 to 20% contingency budget for conditions found behind walls, and transparent pricing that does not shift after you sign.

### Why Huxley Homeowners Choose Busy Builders

We want to be the registered contractor that Huxley homeowners trust with their most-used room. From [kitchen remodeling across Central Iowa](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) to open-concept conversions in Story County subdivisions, we bring honest scoping, transparent pricing, and 1,285+ completed projects to every job we take on.

- Kitchen Remodeling Step By Step

## How We Remodel Huxley Kitchens

Step #1

### ASSESSMENT & PLANNING

Before any demo begins, we walk through your Huxley kitchen and assess what stays and what goes.

We check your electrical panel capacity, exhaust fan routing, plumbing supply lines, subfloor condition, and whether any walls are load-bearing. Most Huxley homes were built in the 2000s and 2010s with 100-150 amp service. That is often adequate, but adding circuits for a layout change or open-concept conversion can push panel capacity. We find that at walkthrough, not after demo. We also confirm exhaust ventilation routes to the exterior. Interior-vented range hoods are a [common correction we handle](https://busybuildersiowa.com/locations/kitchen-remodeling-west-des-moines-ia/) in Story County kitchens before new cabinetry goes in.

- Full condition assessment of plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and subfloor
- Hidden damage, code violations, and system deficiencies identified before work is scoped
- Written scope of work, design, and fixed estimate confirmed before any work begins

[Start your free assessment](https://busybuildersiowa.com/contact-us/)

Kitchen remodeling in Huxley requires a permit for structural changes, electrical upgrades, plumbing relocations, and HVAC modifications. Iowa Building Code is administered through [Iowa DIAL](https://dial.iowa.gov) under Iowa Administrative Code agency 481. Story County and the City of Huxley handle permits locally, and most Huxley kitchen projects involving wall removal, new circuits, or plumbing relocation require permit submission before work begins. Cosmetic work over existing surfaces is typically exempt. Our team identifies exactly what triggers a permit at your walkthrough, so there are no surprises after demo starts. We handle the paperwork from submission through final inspection.

- Permit application filed for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC scope items
- Drawings submitted where required by local building departments
- All inspections scheduled and managed, homeowner doesn't track a thing

Step #2

### PERMITS & APPROVALS

Step #3

### DEMO & HAZARD REMEDIATION

Demo is where Huxley kitchens reveal what years of Iowa humidity and freeze-thaw cycling have been hiding. Most homes here were built in the 2000s or 2010s, but even newer construction can surface water-damaged subfloor around the sink or dishwasher, corroded supply line fittings, or an exhaust fan venting into the attic instead of outside. These are correctable problems, and we identify them before they become budget surprises. Our team assesses [every kitchen remodel](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) for hidden conditions during demo so your project stays on schedule and on budget.

- Selective or full demo based on remodel scope, all debris removed before rebuilding
- Mold remediation, rotted subfloor repair, and water damage correction where needed
- All hidden plumbing and electrical issues addressed before any new work begins

[Ways to manage your remodel budget](https://busybuildersiowa.com/cost-efficient-kitchen-renovation-strategies-for-homeowners/)

Open-concept conversion is the most common structural request we hear from Huxley homeowners. Many homes here were built with closed or partially closed kitchen layouts. Those half-walls and doorways limit sightlines and cut kitchens off from the living and dining spaces where families actually spend time. Removing them changes how the whole home feels.

But load-bearing walls, which are walls that hold up the house structure above, require a full assessment before any demo begins. Engineered headers and stamped drawings are often required at permit submission in Story County. We complete this evaluation at the walkthrough, not after demo has started. If a wall is load-bearing, we tell you upfront, explain the structural solution, and price it accurately before you sign anything.

- Load-bearing wall identification and proper structural support before any removal
- Headers and beams sized per Iowa building code for all spans and loads
- Structural inspection scheduled and passed before any mechanical rough-in begins

Step #4

### STRUCTURAL CHANGES & FRAMING

Step #5

### PLUMBING ROUGH-IN

Moving the sink, adding a prep sink, or running a refrigerator water line all happen while walls and floors are open in your Huxley kitchen. This is the lowest-cost window to change plumbing locations. Once walls close, the same changes cost significantly more and add days to the schedule.

Most Huxley homes built in the 2000s and 2010s have copper or PEX supply lines in good condition. Even so, our team inspects every line during demo. If we find corroded fittings or undersized supply runs, we flag them before closing walls. [Kitchen remodeling in Central Iowa](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) works best when plumbing surprises get resolved during rough-in, not after tile is set.

- Sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator line relocation while walls and floors are open
- Supply line replacement and shutoff valve upgrades on older Central Iowa homes
- Licensed plumber on all rough-in work, permitted and inspected before walls close

[Get your free kitchen estimate](https://busybuildersiowa.com/contact-us/)

Electrical rough-in covers new circuits, outlet placement, under-cabinet lighting wiring, pendant fixture rough-in, exhaust fan wiring, and dedicated appliance circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and microwave.

Under [Iowa NEC 2023 with state amendments](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf), GFCI protection is required on all 125-volt countertop outlets, and AFCI protection is required on all kitchen branch circuits in new work. Most Huxley homes carry 100 to 150-amp service. That is often adequate, but when an open-concept conversion removes a wall, circuit loads shift. Our team assesses panel capacity at the initial walkthrough, not after demo. If an upgrade from 100 to 150 or 200 amps is needed, you will know the cost before work starts.

- New circuits, outlet locations, and dedicated appliance circuits roughed in while walls are open
- GFCI protection on all countertop receptacles per Iowa NEC 2023 amendments
- Licensed electrician on all wiring, permitted and inspected before drywall

[Ask about electrical costs for your Huxley kitchen](https://busybuildersiowa.com/understanding-kitchen-remodel-cost-for-your-project/)

Step #6

### ELECTRICAL ROUGH-IN

Step #7

### VENTILATION & RANGE HOOD ROUGH-IN

Range hood ventilation is one of the most commonly overlooked details in Huxley kitchen remodels.

Iowa adopted NEC 2023, which requires all exhaust fans and range hoods to vent to the exterior. Many Huxley homes built in the 2000s and 2010s were installed with fans that recirculate air back into the kitchen or vent into attic cavities. Both approaches are code violations and create ongoing moisture problems that damage insulation and framing over time.

When we walk through a Huxley kitchen before scoping your project, we check ventilation at the same time we assess panel capacity and plumbing lines. Correcting improper exhaust during a remodel is straightforward if planned early. Discovering it after cabinets are set costs more. Our team identifies these issues upfront so your estimate reflects the full scope of work.

- Range hood exhaust ducted to exterior with proper backdraft damper and weather cap
- Duct sizing matched to range hood CFM rating for full ventilation performance
- Iowa code compliant venting, never recirculating or venting into the attic

[Start Your Free Estimate](https://busybuildersiowa.com/contact-us/)

Drywall goes up in your Huxley kitchen after all mechanical inspections are passed.

We hang, tape, mud, and sand every surface to a smooth, paint-ready finish. Moisture-resistant drywall is used on all kitchen walls, especially behind the backsplash area and above the sink where humidity is highest. Central Iowa sees significant humidity swings between summer and winter, and standard drywall in those zones absorbs moisture and breaks down over time. Huxley kitchens deserve materials selected for that reality.

If your remodel includes an open-concept conversion, ceiling work typically expands. Removing a half-wall or load-bearing partition creates exposed framing, patched soffits, and ceiling transitions that need seamless finishing before paint.

- Moisture-resistant drywall on all kitchen walls, particularly behind backsplash and above sink
- Smooth ceiling finish primed and ready for paint
- Soffit construction around upper cabinets and range hood built cleanly to ceiling

Step #8

### DRYWALL & CEILINGS

Step #9

### CABINET INSTALLATION

Cabinets go in after drywall is complete and walls are primed in your Huxley kitchen.

Upper cabinets are hung first, then base cabinets are set and leveled across the floor. Every cabinet is secured to studs with proper fasteners. Iowa’s humidity swings cause wood to move seasonally, and we account for that during installation by selecting plywood box construction over particle board wherever possible. Particle board absorbs moisture and swells; plywood holds its shape through Huxley’s freeze-thaw cycle and summer humidity peaks.

Most Huxley homes were built with builder-grade stock cabinets that are now 12 to 20 years old. Doors show wear, drawer boxes loosen, and finishes dull.

- Upper cabinets hung before base cabinets set and leveled across the floor
- All cabinets secured to studs with proper fasteners accounting for Iowa's humidity movement
- Crown molding, filler strips, and end panels fitted after cabinet runs are complete

[Learn about cost efficient Kitchen Remodeling](https://busybuildersiowa.com/cost-efficient-kitchen-renovation-strategies-for-homeowners/)

Countertops are templated after cabinets are fully installed and leveled. In Huxley kitchens, quartz is the most popular countertop material because it stands up to Central Iowa’s wide humidity swings and freeze-thaw cycles without sealing or special maintenance. That matters in a Story County home that sees hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters.

Quartz and granite slabs are fabricated to the template, then installed with proper support and adhesive. Undermount sinks are set before the countertop goes down. Backsplash tile follows after the countertop is confirmed level and secure. For Huxley homeowners replacing original laminate, this step is often the most visible transformation of the entire project. Learn more about [kitchen remodeling with Busy Builders](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) and what to expect at each stage.

- Countertop templating after cabinets are fully set, fabricated and installed to spec
- Undermount sink set before countertop for a clean sealed cutout
- Backsplash tile set after countertops with sealed grout rated for Central Iowa's hard water

Step #10

### COUNTERTOPS, BACKSPLASH & SINK

Step #11

### APPLIANCES, FIXTURES & HARDWARE

Appliances are delivered and installed after countertops and backsplash are complete. This sequencing protects finished surfaces from delivery damage, which matters when quartz and tile represent a significant share of your Huxley kitchen budget.

Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and disposal are connected, tested, and confirmed operational before the project moves forward. Most Huxley homes built in the 2000s carry 100 to 150-amp service. If your remodel adds circuits for new appliances or converts to an open layout, our team identifies panel capacity at the walkthrough, not after demo. Cabinet hardware and plumbing fixtures are installed last, finishing the visual details.

- Appliances delivered, installed, connected, and confirmed operational before final finishes
- Faucets, garbage disposal, and sink accessories connected and tested
- Light fixtures, pendants, and under-cabinet lighting installed and connected by licensed electrician

[Explore finish options](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling/)

Flooring and final paint bring your Huxley kitchen together before the walkthrough begins.

We apply paint after cabinets and tile are set, so every edge cuts in cleanly against finished surfaces. We use moisture-resistant kitchen paint because standard interior paint breaks down quickly in Huxley kitchens, where cooking heat and Iowa’s wide humidity swings create a tough environment for wall finishes year-round.

For flooring, most Huxley homeowners choose [luxury vinyl plank (LVP)](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) over solid hardwood. LVP handles Central Iowa’s temperature and humidity shifts without warping or gapping, making it a practical, long-lasting choice for 2000s-era homes where subfloor conditions are generally solid but moisture movement is still a factor.

- Moisture-resistant kitchen paint applied after cabinets and tile for clean cut lines
- Flooring installed after paint is complete to protect finished surfaces
- Transition strips between kitchen and adjacent rooms fitted cleanly at project close

[Compare kitchen flooring options](https://busybuildersiowa.com/flooring-options-iowa-homes/)

Step #12

### FLOORING & PAINTING

Step #13

### FINAL WALKTHROUGH & CLEAN UP

The final walkthrough is where we review every detail of your Huxley kitchen together before calling the project complete.

Every appliance, plumbing fixture, electrical outlet, light switch, [GFCI-protected countertop circuit](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//), cabinet door, and drawer gets tested before we walk the space with you. Iowa’s [2024 IRC and NEC 2023](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf) require GFCI protection on all 125-volt countertop outlets and AFCI protection on kitchen branch circuits. We confirm every requirement is met. If anything is not right, we correct it on the spot. You get a clean kitchen and a complete project, not a punchlist that lingers for weeks.

- Full kitchen inspection of every surface, appliance, fixture, and finish detail with the homeowner
- Function test on all plumbing, electrical, appliances, GFCI circuits, and ventilation before handoff
- Complete clean up and delivery of all permit documentation and inspection records at project close

## FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling
in Huxley

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Central Iowa?

Kitchen remodeling in [Huxley](https://busybuildersiowa.com/huxley/) starts at $250 per square foot. Final costs depend on scope, cabinet selection, countertop material, and whether structural or mechanical work is needed. Costs vary by scope, materials, and complexity.

A cosmetic refresh with cabinet refacing, new countertops, and updated fixtures typically runs $10,000 to $25,000. No structural changes. No demolition of load-bearing walls. Just an updated look on a focused budget. A basic remodel with full cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and new appliances typically runs $30,000 to $45,000 with no layout changes.

A mid-range remodel that includes a layout change, open-concept wall removal, and electrical rough-in runs $45,000 to $70,000 in most Huxley homes. A full gut remodel can reach $70,000 to $150,000 or more for long-term owners pursuing a complete structural overhaul. Budget a 15 to 20 percent contingency for any scope. Hidden conditions, including undersized panels, unvented exhaust fans, or water-damaged subfloor, are correctable but cost-adding.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Central Iowa?

Most Huxley kitchen remodels run 6 to 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Timelines shift based on scope, permit processing, and what shows up once demo begins.

A cosmetic refresh with no structural or plumbing changes can wrap in 2 to 4 weeks. A basic remodel with full cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, and electrical updates typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A mid-range project with open-concept conversion and layout changes runs 10 to 16 weeks. Full gut remodels run 14 to 20 weeks in most cases.

Cabinet lead times drive the single largest schedule variable. Custom and semi-custom orders run 4 to 12 weeks depending on the manufacturer. We finalize your cabinet order immediately after design sign-off to protect your timeline.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Iowa?

Yes, permits are required for any Huxley kitchen remodel that involves structural changes, electrical modifications, plumbing updates, HVAC duct changes, or new gas lines. Story County and the City of Huxley follow [Iowa’s adopted building codes](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf), including the 2024 IRC and NEC 2023.

Cosmetic work over existing surfaces, including countertop replacement, cabinet refacing, new hardware, or an appliance swap, typically does not require a permit in Huxley. When we are not certain, we verify with the city before work starts.

Electrical work in Huxley kitchens must meet NEC 2023 requirements. GFCI protection is mandatory on all 125-volt countertop outlets. AFCI protection is required on all kitchen branch circuits in new work.

Should I keep my existing cabinets or replace them?

It depends on the condition of the cabinet boxes and how well the current layout fits your household. If the boxes are structurally sound, doors close squarely, and the layout still works for how your family cooks and uses the space, refacing or repainting is a cost-effective choice. It updates the look without the expense of a full replacement.

Most Huxley homes were built in the 2000s and 2010s with builder-grade cabinetry that is now 12 to 20 years old. Visible wear on doors and drawer fronts does not always mean the boxes are compromised. If the frame is solid, refacing can deliver a significant visual upgrade at a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry.

Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?

Yes, and open-concept conversions are the most-requested structural change in Huxley kitchen remodels. Many homes built in the 2000s and 2010s feature closed or partially closed kitchens with half-walls that limit sightlines to dining and living areas. Removing those barriers is a common goal for growing families who want a more functional, connected floor plan.

Before any wall comes down, we identify whether it is load-bearing, meaning a wall that holds up the house structure above it, and what runs inside it: plumbing, electrical wiring, or HVAC ducts. A load-bearing wall requires an engineered header and, in some cases, stamped drawings at permit submission.

How do you keep my home livable during a kitchen remodel?

We seal off the work area to contain dust and debris from the rest of your home. Temporary barriers go up before demo begins, and we protect floors and hallways throughout the entire project.

We clean up at the end of every workday. A Huxley kitchen remodel is an active job site during work hours, but your home should not feel like one after the crew leaves. Countertops, appliances, and living areas outside the work zone stay protected and accessible throughout the project.

Kitchens are out of service during demo and rough-in phases. We walk you through what to expect at each stage so you can plan meals and household routines around the schedule.

Final costs depend on scope, cabinet selection, countertop material, and whether structural or mechanical work is needed. Costs vary by scope, materials, and complexity.A cosmetic refresh with cabinet refacing, new countertops, and updated fixtures typically runs $10,000 to $25,000. No structural changes. No demolition of load-bearing walls. Just an updated look on a focused budget. A basic remodel with full cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and new appliances typically runs $30,000 to $45,000 with no layout changes.A mid-range remodel that includes a layout change, open-concept wall removal, and electrical rough-in runs $45,000 to $70,000 in most Huxley homes. A full gut remodel can reach $70,000 to $150,000 or more for long-term owners pursuing a complete structural overhaul. Budget a 15 to 20 percent contingency for any scope. Hidden conditions, including undersized panels, unvented exhaust fans, or water-damaged subfloor, are correctable but cost-adding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does a kitchen remodel take in Central Iowa?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most Huxley kitchen remodels run 6 to 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Timelines shift based on scope, permit processing, and what shows up once demo begins.A cosmetic refresh with no structural or plumbing changes can wrap in 2 to 4 weeks. A basic remodel with full cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, and electrical updates typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A mid-range project with open-concept conversion and layout changes runs 10 to 16 weeks. Full gut remodels run 14 to 20 weeks in most cases.Cabinet lead times drive the single largest schedule variable. Custom and semi-custom orders run 4 to 12 weeks depending on the manufacturer. We finalize your cabinet order immediately after design sign-off to protect your timeline."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Iowa?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, permits are required for any Huxley kitchen remodel that involves structural changes, electrical modifications, plumbing updates, HVAC duct changes, or new gas lines. Story County and the City of Huxley follow Iowa’s adopted building codes, including the 2024 IRC and NEC 2023.Cosmetic work over existing surfaces, including countertop replacement, cabinet refacing, new hardware, or an appliance swap, typically does not require a permit in Huxley. When we are not certain, we verify with the city before work starts.Electrical work in Huxley kitchens must meet NEC 2023 requirements. GFCI protection is mandatory on all 125-volt countertop outlets. AFCI protection is required on all kitchen branch circuits in new work."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I keep my existing cabinets or replace them?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It depends on the condition of the cabinet boxes and how well the current layout fits your household. If the boxes are structurally sound, doors close squarely, and the layout still works for how your family cooks and uses the space, refacing or repainting is a cost-effective choice. It updates the look without the expense of a full replacement.Most Huxley homes were built in the 2000s and 2010s with builder-grade cabinetry that is now 12 to 20 years old. Visible wear on doors and drawer fronts does not always mean the boxes are compromised. If the frame is solid, refacing can deliver a significant visual upgrade at a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, and open-concept conversions are the most-requested structural change in Huxley kitchen remodels. Many homes built in the 2000s and 2010s feature closed or partially closed kitchens with half-walls that limit sightlines to dining and living areas. Removing those barriers is a common goal for growing families who want a more functional, connected floor plan.Before any wall comes down, we identify whether it is load-bearing, meaning a wall that holds up the house structure above it, and what runs inside it: plumbing, electrical wiring, or HVAC ducts. A load-bearing wall requires an engineered header and, in some cases, stamped drawings at permit submission."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do you keep my home livable during a kitchen remodel?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We seal off the work area to contain dust and debris from the rest of your home. Temporary barriers go up before demo begins, and we protect floors and hallways throughout the entire project.We clean up at the end of every workday. A Huxley kitchen remodel is an active job site during work hours, but your home should not feel like one after the crew leaves. Countertops, appliances, and living areas outside the work zone stay protected and accessible throughout the project.Kitchens are out of service during demo and rough-in phases. We walk you through what to expect at each stage so you can plan meals and household routines around the schedule."}}]}]},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","data":[{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmMRf58UUMxBfvhmtVXGrRX5Nbd0xlhY622A_634NSNoo-pSmck8Txj3gZzHvBwVl0g1lHZr-b4OT5vdyRHHmZKPUgjfUvAWHVZADut561SC0SIg-Zxu5sWhz9A_P1RGTfx2OIrIJZzrQm8=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmMRf58UUMxBfvhmtVXGrRX5Nbd0xlhY622A_634NSNoo-pSmck8Txj3gZzHvBwVl0g1lHZr-b4OT5vdyRHHmZKPUgjfUvAWHVZADut561SC0SIg-Zxu5sWhz9A_P1RGTfx2OIrIJZzrQm8=k-no","index":0,"r":"23598c8394f427ff43e2bd71cd557354"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNcSDdIOCfBbEZx1cKFdvACYXZSs1-xULeVbx3zh3wq3k1TRwC21VKix4coPgGC_q2Bp78KeykF4ulvE0iTzzihZ51teKiHERt1nUbsEay3ShJiNzxdwa1PVL0UGXSNM5RNcDIbxTzwq912=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNcSDdIOCfBbEZx1cKFdvACYXZSs1-xULeVbx3zh3wq3k1TRwC21VKix4coPgGC_q2Bp78KeykF4ulvE0iTzzihZ51teKiHERt1nUbsEay3ShJiNzxdwa1PVL0UGXSNM5RNcDIbxTzwq912=k-no","index":1,"r":"23598c8394f427ff43e2bd71cd557354"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmP504Kerqdh51qtDZmgyh0D68AhKkdRe9bFI_HLRfxzC2HbNan-LZsEaAdO-G3T-3SDPTttonOLNafe94d7a5eZnNhAZmryfmUBjKNR9RzxZpMDrSkO_m00BFOZPyZPmSTN5lVp22Aj0Gk=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmP504Kerqdh51qtDZmgyh0D68AhKkdRe9bFI_HLRfxzC2HbNan-LZsEaAdO-G3T-3SDPTttonOLNafe94d7a5eZnNhAZmryfmUBjKNR9RzxZpMDrSkO_m00BFOZPyZPmSTN5lVp22Aj0Gk=k-no","index":2,"r":"23598c8394f427ff43e2bd71cd557354"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNPOKDptezNohwxdgMPC4c6rj22roiCj9HN0UhXEGc91oCmN_IpKMqRCPBtZUrpehRhe3JjD7NVvrAUhTL3tSi4f8jF0ok0QRr2Kl5_7Y1y-LJfQz4lJtIT-DkAbSPF-F9J73iuRmfE4eY=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNPOKDptezNohwxdgMPC4c6rj22roiCj9HN0UhXEGc91oCmN_IpKMqRCPBtZUrpehRhe3JjD7NVvrAUhTL3tSi4f8jF0ok0QRr2Kl5_7Y1y-LJfQz4lJtIT-DkAbSPF-F9J73iuRmfE4eY=k-no","index":3,"r":"23598c8394f427ff43e2bd71cd557354"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmOGsdpK-3q3-Q1oUzObsnd3soZnSIifaA7Pdns_f-5Xxn46poAs5m51oxJ13Nallm8NNdfY3b9G2vjU4QYyaMgkt35O_hFht9APusjNRASunJD8K45uEdacS_AGOtIRgnQ1zoISH9j48u-A=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmOGsdpK-3q3-Q1oUzObsnd3soZnSIifaA7Pdns_f-5Xxn46poAs5m51oxJ13Nallm8NNdfY3b9G2vjU4QYyaMgkt35O_hFht9APusjNRASunJD8K45uEdacS_AGOtIRgnQ1zoISH9j48u-A=k-no","index":4,"r":"23598c8394f427ff43e2bd71cd557354"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmP06Ko0GXiUrEo-bkHqrWnVlf05tNtraqaZY2TwfPbCBpMSJl5_bYbRcD97kjw9kRyd4ARiuJZ1As5uBRxKT5vnxgVTi29IkTWaSGSAowXIfJ653Lq_J85nGAQqsYT7eSt3LGQkoCq5_b8=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmP06Ko0GXiUrEo-bkHqrWnVlf05tNtraqaZY2TwfPbCBpMSJl5_bYbRcD97kjw9kRyd4ARiuJZ1As5uBRxKT5vnxgVTi29IkTWaSGSAowXIfJ653Lq_J85nGAQqsYT7eSt3LGQkoCq5_b8=k-no","index":0,"r":"8b3c0d2a41c6f0beb356ecb5703e2b1d"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmPfwr2huyVDyElG8rdAYIH9WroMzqUgAc5YLrhclUxltG2XBRt6Gs_i_3PT2pvvZIZtemO_IxIrBa1zhPF-wSOql0KE3SGLyPGoW15PucBRrpPwlEWcIsbZZF-NuZ6KWGczRi4jCKiquKj_=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmPfwr2huyVDyElG8rdAYIH9WroMzqUgAc5YLrhclUxltG2XBRt6Gs_i_3PT2pvvZIZtemO_IxIrBa1zhPF-wSOql0KE3SGLyPGoW15PucBRrpPwlEWcIsbZZF-NuZ6KWGczRi4jCKiquKj_=k-no","index":1,"r":"8b3c0d2a41c6f0beb356ecb5703e2b1d"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNUtK3eSrvmS0OkSIIKqAAvNxODBw1svWZq7e2EGOvcGpL0zANqnzb-EEj14C1UEZqXmrEpgMsYYIt-qCZQx6LPzVDFILU8_eZUjF-d3UzZNqvrUn8McKT0PYDD1XaMGS0rmxBzPyCSszKN=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNUtK3eSrvmS0OkSIIKqAAvNxODBw1svWZq7e2EGOvcGpL0zANqnzb-EEj14C1UEZqXmrEpgMsYYIt-qCZQx6LPzVDFILU8_eZUjF-d3UzZNqvrUn8McKT0PYDD1XaMGS0rmxBzPyCSszKN=k-no","index":2,"r":"8b3c0d2a41c6f0beb356ecb5703e2b1d"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmM_cxrKr4O-Lzxm-gzxBShOd19j9cKQqh48Gj7lIaE931i-4jcjKN04Jp5aAGJU1EppfB2PKIZ5JJN6KTKpiqbtMwpas0RSV-ATx5ycxiTfL-C5R1eImRtckbpavsdovj2XJOTzDXA9TKpW=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmM_cxrKr4O-Lzxm-gzxBShOd19j9cKQqh48Gj7lIaE931i-4jcjKN04Jp5aAGJU1EppfB2PKIZ5JJN6KTKpiqbtMwpas0RSV-ATx5ycxiTfL-C5R1eImRtckbpavsdovj2XJOTzDXA9TKpW=k-no","index":3,"r":"8b3c0d2a41c6f0beb356ecb5703e2b1d"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNhBji3It1bQ23Ee7RWmQQgCQyQASPRkJpBbI2BsHhxz1VHuADJB7eXsHG0KipXuRFyUhs3mBnATxFL2QNWDmodg6k2PyHONwHWUcvVoGBOF5oWUN4qH6OjE83ZljLlGzY5SKpG=k-no","thumbnail":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmNhBji3It1bQ23Ee7RWmQQgCQyQASPRkJpBbI2BsHhxz1VHuADJB7eXsHG0KipXuRFyUhs3mBnATxFL2QNWDmodg6k2PyHONwHWUcvVoGBOF5oWUN4qH6OjE83ZljLlGzY5SKpG=k-no","index":0,"r":"c07f5c964731191d14d1ccec46b397ad"},{"src":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/grass-cs\/ACvplmN6Xocj-nIsQd7e9LvxMYPoG4chgqyEtuzi2LcxtQgzI5PjruASVIYyeJOmJs9xrmMQMf3oeT3h7GCHNHqlqcg7c44u_uu3vxXiSFh6e0-wULiXHcO07z2LCxm3svM6pSiU89u3=k-no","thumbnail":"
