Day 21
Now the changes are happening quickly. The frig is back in place.
Handles and knobs are on the cabinets.
The men came to install the countertop.
And left the sink on the floor while they worked.
Meanwhile, Al and John had started on the backsplash tile.
The countertop was in place in less than 2 hours!
Another day of work and everything will be almost done!

Day 20
There was more work that didn't show today. New hinges on the kitchen cabinet doors. Staining of woodwork. The refrigerator being put back into place. The most picture-worthy was the family room mantel and bookcases.

Day 19
I'm about to give up trying to figure out what day this is in the remodel. It's just exciting to watch the changes. Yesterday the bookcases took shape in the family room. We are going to put the TV on the left bookcase. Al is wiring electricity and cable for that so we won't have wires hanging down everywhere. It also means we can have a lighted garland on the mantel at Christmas :) It's the little things in life...

Day 18
So, coming back after being gone 5 days, there were some changes but not a lot that show in pictures. Before we left our stove and microwave were reinstalled so cooking isn't quite as difficult. But, the refrigerator is still in the dining room.
The recessed lights are in in the kitchen as are the under the cabinet lights. The plumbing is ready for the sink and the garbage disposal is wired. More finished carpentry work was done too. The kitchen work is basically stalled until the countertops arrived. That may be another week...or more. Grandad's puzzle boards and the old cookie board work as makeshift counters! The hardwood floors are stilled covered though in case they drop anything. Let's hope not.
They have also started on the floor to ceiling cabinets/bookshelves for either side of the fireplace in the family room. We're going to paint the walls this weekend and maybe, maybe move a little bit of furniture back into place. We'll see...

Day 14
The guy came from the countertop company to measure the kitchen. He had a very cool tool that took images and recorded measurements directly into his computer. It will take at least 2 weeks for the counters to come in.
In cabinetland, the corner glass cabinet went in and the moldings went up. So happy with how everything looks!
