Kitchen Remodel - Tuesday Report

Tuesday morning started out looking like this...


Along about lunch time...


And finished up looking like this!


We got all the cabinets installed, the microwave in, the dishwasher mostly in and the countertops ready to mount. Once the stove is put back and the sink installed, it will be a fully functional kitchen again!


The story of the day - Matt working hard and me standing around holding things up. (and it appears that I've been eating WAY too many of Mam's chocolate chip cookies this weekend!)


This is the corner cabinet and dishwasher. (dishwasher isn't fully installed yet.) The sink will go to the left of the dishwasher - we didn't get that cut out today. The cabinet base will be painted and a facia will be added as a kickplate to blend in the cabinet bottom and base platform.

Kitchen Progress - Monday Report

We made lots of progress on Sunday and Monday. Dad came over and helped on Sunday afternoon and Mother brought supper again. What a big help!


Dad learned a little electrical and wired in some plugs for us.


Matt worked hard and we got all the electrical finished. There are a few "extras" that took some additional time, but will be well worth it when we get done. Keep your eyes open for some special effects...


Noah is our resident garbage collector and chef extraordinaire - but not at the same time or using the same materials! He's making a big pile on the haul off trailer.


He's also been busy trying myth-busters stuff. I showed him an article about using Cheetos as fire starters in an off-road magazine - so he bought some Flamin' Hot Cheetos and tried them flaming hot - literally! It made a little mess, but did burn. And smelled. Bad.


And, last but not least, here is the results at the end of Monday. Two cabinets are up, the lower cabinet base is in, the electrical is done, the plumbing didn't need changing afterall, and the gas line for the stove is modified. Tomorrow - we'll hang the rest of the cabinets, upper and lower, and get the counter tops on and plumb in the sink. A lot of work, but it should go smoothly!

Time for the Kitchen to Go!

Jill left for Spring Break and will be coming home to a new kitchen. Noah and Matt are here and we are having a blast. Well, at least we are enjoying being together!


Watch out for the maniac on the drill!


Out comes the sink...


Down come the old cabinets...


Gutted kitchen. Now we have to start putting stuff back!
