# Kitchen Remodeling
 Jefferson, IA

Jefferson kitchens carry the marks of decades of daily use. Closed layouts, undersized 60-to-100-amp panels, galvanized supply lines, and exhaust fans venting into attics are common in Greene County homes built before 1980. These are not just cosmetic problems. They affect how you cook, how safe your home is, and how much you pay to maintain it.

Busy Builders remodels kitchens across Jefferson and Greene County, from cosmetic refreshes to full gut remodels that remove walls, upgrade electrical service, and reroute plumbing.

### Why Jefferson
Homeowners Choose Us

Since 2020, Busy Builders has completed 1,285+ construction and remodeling projects across Central Iowa, including kitchen remodels throughout Greene County and the surrounding region. Jefferson homes present a specific set of challenges that require honest upfront planning, not surprises mid-project.

Pre-1980 housing stock dominates Jefferson’s residential core. That means asbestos floor tile, corroded galvanized supply lines, and panels that cannot support modern kitchen circuits are baseline risks on nearly every full remodel.

### Our Approach

We give Jefferson homeowners a clear written scope before any demo begins. That includes an honest assessment of what older Greene County homes are likely to hide, a recommended 15-to-20% contingency budget for conditions like water-damaged subfloors or undersized panels, and pricing that does not shift after you sign.

### Why Jefferson Homeowners Choose Busy Builders

We want to be the registered contractor that Jefferson homeowners trust with their most-used room. From [kitchen remodeling across Central Iowa](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) to open-concept wall removals in older Greene County homes, we bring transparency to every step.

- Kitchen Remodeling Step By Step

## How We Remodel Jefferson Kitchens

Step #1

### ASSESSMENT & PLANNING

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

We check your electrical panel capacity, plumbing supply lines, exhaust fan routing, subfloor condition, and whether any walls are load-bearing. In pre-1980 Jefferson homes, we frequently find 60-amp panels that need upgrading, galvanized supply lines showing corrosion, and exhaust fans venting into attics instead of the exterior. These are baseline expectations in [older Iowa housing stock](https://busybuildersiowa.com/locations/kitchen-remodeling-des-moines-ia/), not surprises. We budget for them upfront so you are never caught off guard mid-project. We also flag any asbestos tile risk in homes built before 1980, because remediation must happen before demo can start.

- 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/)

Permits in Jefferson run through the Greene County Building Department and Jefferson city offices, which share a single intake process. You will need a permit for structural changes, electrical upgrades, plumbing relocations, and any HVAC modifications. Iowa contractors earning $2,000 or more annually must hold registration through [Iowa DIAL](https://dial.iowa.gov) under Iowa Code Chapter 91C. Electricians and plumbers carry separate state licenses. Cosmetic work done over existing surfaces typically requires no permit. Processing in Greene County runs about one to three weeks. Always verify your contractor’s registration status at [dial.iowa.gov](https://dial.iowa.gov) before signing anything.

- 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

[Check Greene County permit requirements](https://busybuildersiowa.com/how-much-does-a-kitchen-remodel-cost-in-des-moines-your-2026-planning-guide/)

Step #2

### PERMITS & APPROVALS

Step #3

### DEMO & HAZARD REMEDIATION

Demo in Jefferson kitchens often uncovers conditions that pre-date modern building standards. Homes built before 1980 regularly reveal water-damaged subfloors under appliances, corroded [galvanized supply lines](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//), asbestos floor tile beneath existing flooring, and exhaust fans venting into attics instead of outside. Budget a 15 to 20 percent contingency on any pre-1980 scope. These are baseline expectations in older Greene County housing stock, not surprises. Our team identifies and addresses every hazard before new materials ever go in.

- 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

[How to budget for hidden conditions](https://busybuildersiowa.com/cost-efficient-kitchen-renovation-strategies-for-homeowners/)

Open-concept conversions are the most-requested structural change in Jefferson kitchen remodels. Closed layouts from 1960s and 1970s construction wall off kitchens from dining and living areas in ways that no longer fit how families use their homes. Removing those walls requires a structural assessment before any demo begins.

Load-bearing walls, which are walls that hold up the house above them, require an engineered header to safely carry that load after removal. A [full kitchen remodel in Central Iowa](https://busybuildersiowa.com/locations/kitchen-remodeling-des-moines-ia/) that includes structural wall removal adds time and cost but transforms how the space lives. We assess every wall before a single layout decision is made.

- 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 relocating the dishwasher drain all happen while walls and floors are open in your Jefferson kitchen. This is the lowest-cost window to change plumbing locations. Once walls close, the same moves cost significantly more and add days to the schedule.

Many Jefferson homes built before 1980 still have corroded galvanized supply lines. These lines narrow over time, reducing water pressure and increasing the risk of leaks behind finished surfaces. If your home was built before 1980, we assess supply line condition early in the process.

- 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 a 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 new kitchen branch circuits. Jefferson homes built before 1980 commonly carry 60 to 100 amp panels. Modern kitchens require 150 to 200 amps. A panel upgrade runs $3,000 to $8,000 and is often mandatory before any new circuits can be added. We identify panel capacity during the planning phase so the cost lands in your estimate, not as a surprise mid-project.

- 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

[Talk through electrical costs with our team](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 done wrong details in Jefferson kitchen remodels.

Iowa has adopted NEC 2023 and requires all exhaust fans and range hoods to vent to the exterior, not recirculate inside the kitchen or vent into the attic. Many Jefferson homes built before 1980 have exhaust fans that vent directly into attic cavities. That is a code violation and a moisture problem that builds up over time. Humid Iowa summers and cold winters accelerate that damage fast.

When we remodel a kitchen in Jefferson, we assess the existing exhaust path before any other scope is written. If rerouting is required, we handle it as part of the project, not as a surprise add-on after demo begins. Proper exterior venting is required under [Iowa Administrative Code 481-301](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf) and is non-negotiable in any permitted kitchen remodel.

- 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

Drywall goes up after all mechanical inspections are passed in Jefferson.

We hang, tape, mud, and sand every surface to a smooth, paint-ready finish. Moisture-resistant drywall is used on all kitchen walls, particularly behind the backsplash area and above the sink where humidity and splashing are constant. Jefferson kitchens see real humidity swings between summer and winter. Standard drywall in those zones holds moisture and fails over time. Moisture-resistant board does not.

If your kitchen involved a wall removal for an open-concept conversion, the ceiling will need patching where the old wall met the ceiling plane. We blend that patch to match the existing surface so the transition is invisible.

- 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 Jefferson 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 choosing plywood box construction over particle board wherever possible. Plywood holds fasteners better and resists moisture damage that shortens the life of particle board cabinets in Iowa climates.

One planning note that matters right now: cabinet lead times run 4 to 12 weeks depending on the manufacturer and product line.

- 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

Countertops get templated only after cabinets are fully installed and level. In Jefferson kitchens, quartz is the most common choice because it handles Iowa’s humidity swings and freeze-thaw cycles without sealing or special maintenance. Engineered stone holds up better than natural stone in Greene County’s climate, where seasonal moisture shifts are significant.

Quartz and granite slabs are fabricated to the exact template, then installed with proper support and adhesive. Undermount sinks are set and sealed during this phase. Tile backsplash goes in after countertops are confirmed plumb and level. Fabrication typically runs [1-2 weeks after templating](https://busybuildersiowa.com/kitchen-remodeling//) , that window is part of the project timeline, not a delay. Plan for it from the start so it does not catch you off guard.

- 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 sequence protects finished surfaces from delivery damage, which matters in a Jefferson kitchen where countertop and tile work represents a meaningful share of your budget.

Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and disposal are connected, tested, and confirmed operational before the project moves forward. In older Jefferson homes, dedicated 20-amp circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, and disposal are required under [Iowa’s adopted NEC 2023 standards](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf). If those circuits do not exist, our team adds them during the electrical rough-in phase, not as a last-minute add-on.

- 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

Paint and flooring finish the project before your walkthrough begins.

We apply paint after cabinets and tile are fully set, so every edge cuts cleanly against finished surfaces. We use moisture-resistant kitchen paint because standard interior paint breaks down fast in Jefferson homes, where cooking heat and Iowa’s humidity swings put walls through a tough seasonal cycle every year.

For flooring, we recommend luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in most Jefferson kitchens. LVP handles freeze-thaw moisture movement better than solid hardwood and holds up against the humidity spikes common in older Greene County homes. If your subfloor shows water damage under the old appliances or sink, we address that before any new flooring goes down.

- 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

Step #12

### FLOORING & PAINTING

Step #13

### FINAL WALKTHROUGH & CLEAN UP

The final walkthrough is where we go through every detail of your Jefferson 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 [NEC 2023 requirements](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf) mandate GFCI protection on all 125-volt countertop outlets, and we verify every circuit before sign-off. If anything needs adjustment, we handle it on the spot. We leave the space clean and ready to use. Nothing gets closed out until you are fully satisfied with the result.

- 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 Jefferson

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Central Iowa?

Kitchen remodeling in [Jefferson](https://busybuildersiowa.com/jefferson/) starts at $250 per square foot. Final costs depend on scope, cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether structural or mechanical updates are 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 demo. Just an updated look without moving walls or plumbing. A basic remodel with stock cabinets, quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and new appliances typically runs $30,000 to $45,000. A mid-range remodel with semi-custom cabinets and layout changes runs $45,000 to $70,000. Full gut remodels with custom cabinets, structural wall removal, and premium finishes start around $70,000 and climb from there.

Jefferson homes built before 1980 often carry hidden conditions: undersized electrical panels, galvanized supply lines, and water-damaged subfloors.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Central Iowa?

Most Jefferson kitchen remodels run 6 to 16 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Timelines vary based on scope, permit processing, and what hidden conditions appear once demo begins.

A cosmetic refresh with no structural or plumbing changes can wrap in 2 to 4 weeks. A basic remodel with cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, and electrical updates typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A mid-range remodel with layout changes, open-concept conversion, and semi-custom cabinets runs 10 to 16 weeks. Full gut remodels involving structural wall removal, panel upgrades, and plumbing replacement can run 14 to 20 weeks.

Cabinet lead times of 4 to 12 weeks drive most project delays. We order cabinets immediately after design approval to protect your timeline.

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

Yes, permits are required for any Jefferson kitchen remodel involving structural changes, electrical modifications, plumbing updates, HVAC duct changes, or new gas lines.

Cosmetic work over existing surfaces, such as countertop replacement, cabinet refacing, new hardware, or an appliance swap, typically does not require a permit. When in doubt, we verify with Greene County and the City of Jefferson before work begins. Permit processing in Jefferson typically runs 1 to 3 weeks.

Iowa has adopted the [NEC 2023 under Iowa Administrative Code 481-404](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ACO/chapter/481.301.pdf). Kitchen branch circuits require AFCI protection, and all countertop outlets require GFCI protection under NEC 210.8. Any contractor earning $2,000 or more annually must hold Iowa DIAL registration.

Should I keep my existing cabinets or replace them?

It depends on the condition of the boxes and how much the layout needs to change. If the cabinet boxes are solid, doors close squarely, and the layout still works for how your household cooks and lives, refacing or repainting is a cost-effective option. It updates the look without the cost of a full replacement.

Jefferson homes built before 1980 often tell a different story. Water damage under the sink, failing hinges that no longer align, and boxes that have softened from decades of humidity are common findings once we get a close look. If the boxes are compromised, replacement is the better investment. Particle board construction also loses structural integrity over time in high-humidity kitchens. Plywood box cabinetry holds up significantly better in Iowa’s climate.

Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?

Yes, and open-concept conversions are the most-requested structural change in Jefferson kitchen remodels. Closed-layout kitchens isolated from dining rooms or living spaces are standard in 1960s and 1970s homes throughout Greene County. Before any wall comes down, we assess whether it is load-bearing, meaning a wall that holds up the structure above, and what runs inside it: plumbing, electrical, or HVAC ducts.

A load-bearing wall requires an engineered header, a structural beam sized by a professional to carry the load safely once the wall framing is removed. Non-load-bearing walls are simpler to remove but still require permit and inspection if electrical or plumbing runs through them.

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 project.

We clean up at the end of every workday. Jefferson kitchen remodels are active job sites, but your home should not feel like one after 5 p.m. Countertops, appliances, and living areas outside the work zone stay protected. If your kitchen sits adjacent to a dining or living area, which is common in the older homes we work in throughout Greene County, we communicate the daily schedule so you know exactly what to expect and when each phase wraps up.

Final costs depend on scope, cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether structural or mechanical updates are 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 demo. Just an updated look without moving walls or plumbing. A basic remodel with stock cabinets, quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and new appliances typically runs $30,000 to $45,000. A mid-range remodel with semi-custom cabinets and layout changes runs $45,000 to $70,000. Full gut remodels with custom cabinets, structural wall removal, and premium finishes start around $70,000 and climb from there.Jefferson homes built before 1980 often carry hidden conditions: undersized electrical panels, galvanized supply lines, and water-damaged subfloors."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does a kitchen remodel take in Central Iowa?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most Jefferson kitchen remodels run 6 to 16 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Timelines vary based on scope, permit processing, and what hidden conditions appear once demo begins.A cosmetic refresh with no structural or plumbing changes can wrap in 2 to 4 weeks. A basic remodel with cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, and electrical updates typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A mid-range remodel with layout changes, open-concept conversion, and semi-custom cabinets runs 10 to 16 weeks. Full gut remodels involving structural wall removal, panel upgrades, and plumbing replacement can run 14 to 20 weeks.Cabinet lead times of 4 to 12 weeks drive most project delays. We order cabinets immediately after design approval 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 Jefferson kitchen remodel involving structural changes, electrical modifications, plumbing updates, HVAC duct changes, or new gas lines.Cosmetic work over existing surfaces, such as countertop replacement, cabinet refacing, new hardware, or an appliance swap, typically does not require a permit. When in doubt, we verify with Greene County and the City of Jefferson before work begins. Permit processing in Jefferson typically runs 1 to 3 weeks.Iowa has adopted the NEC 2023 under Iowa Administrative Code 481-404. Kitchen branch circuits require AFCI protection, and all countertop outlets require GFCI protection under NEC 210.8. Any contractor earning $2,000 or more annually must hold Iowa DIAL registration."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I keep my existing cabinets or replace them?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It depends on the condition of the boxes and how much the layout needs to change. If the cabinet boxes are solid, doors close squarely, and the layout still works for how your household cooks and lives, refacing or repainting is a cost-effective option. It updates the look without the cost of a full replacement.Jefferson homes built before 1980 often tell a different story. Water damage under the sink, failing hinges that no longer align, and boxes that have softened from decades of humidity are common findings once we get a close look. If the boxes are compromised, replacement is the better investment. Particle board construction also loses structural integrity over time in high-humidity kitchens. Plywood box cabinetry holds up significantly better in Iowa’s climate."}},{"@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 Jefferson kitchen remodels. Closed-layout kitchens isolated from dining rooms or living spaces are standard in 1960s and 1970s homes throughout Greene County. Before any wall comes down, we assess whether it is load-bearing, meaning a wall that holds up the structure above, and what runs inside it: plumbing, electrical, or HVAC ducts.A load-bearing wall requires an engineered header, a structural beam sized by a professional to carry the load safely once the wall framing is removed. Non-load-bearing walls are simpler to remove but still require permit and inspection if electrical or plumbing runs through them."}},{"@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 project.We clean up at the end of every workday. Jefferson kitchen remodels are active job sites, but your home should not feel like one after 5 p.m. Countertops, appliances, and living areas outside the work zone stay protected. If your kitchen sits adjacent to a dining or living area, which is common in the older homes we work in throughout Greene County, we communicate the daily schedule so you know exactly what to expect and when each phase wraps up."}}]}]},{"@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":"https:
