Day 6

Again, a day of progress but not so much for showing in pictures.  More wallboard went up, and joint compound in preparation for painting the ceiling later this week.

The soffet over the sliding glass door became more structured.

 

This is really the kitchen these days.  Last night we had our first burgers of the season.

 

And, yes, that's the view from the new bay window in the kitchen -- you have to lean out a bit to see this direction but it's a great view!



Day 5

Not much to show today. More wiring and wallboard went up. Next week things will start to take off.

 

Notice the difference in our heating ductwork in the picture above.  It is flexible and so will allow for a smaller soffet above the slider.

 

Day 4

There won't be much to take pictures of today either.  When I left, Al and John were wiring lights and discussing which switches would turn what on and off.  The garbage disposal switch will be mounted in the cabinet under the sink. 

I did learn that the cabinets will be put in at the end of next week.  Before that comes sheetrock and flooring and...us painting the ceiling.  I think that will be an evening activity early next week.  Oh boy.  Send Motrin.

Day 3

Today wasn't as exciting to come home to.  They worked on lights and insulation. We have a couple of holes open to the elements. If we're lucky it won't rain or we won't get any critters visiting overnight.

The eyeball lights above the slider.  (There are lots more elsewhere in the kitchen.)

And a light in question.

By far the more interesting thing was the tree being taken out in the backyard!

 

 

Day 2

Today the old floors were removed and replaced with new sub flooring and the new bay window over the sink was installed. Can you say a place for plants?! Finally!

Day 1

Our kitchen remodel started today and already so much has happened! The entire kitchen has been gutted and the half wall is gone!

The kitchen we all know and love:
