well y'all I can't seem to get away from major projects. First the airplane painting now this: a total kitchen remodel. as you can see we are in the demo stage here. we being my roommate and I. He's been itching to do this and now that i'm here to help, well here we go! we will be replacing the cabinetry, the sink the fridge and the stove. the dishwasher is modern enough to not worry about. the cabinets are on order and are made of maple. the countertops are on order and are made of granite. oh, yeah, we're replacing the sink too. one other minor installation is going to be a water line for the fridge as there wasn't one initially and the one paul put in just ran along the wall. we have a good friend of ours that's a master plumber so he's going to come over and hard pipe us up a line through the wall from the sink around to the back of the fridge through the studs in the wall. here's the damage done so far:

Dam, that'll keep you busy for a bit. Is kitchen demo-dust considered in the vegetable group? ;)

Gotta love living in the debris of a good project.

yeah it's going to be a nice little project. after the kitchen is complete then that's it for the rest of the townhome. everything else has been done. of course we could always find something else to do!

next chance I get, I'll post pics of my custom garage door install project that took four men and nearly claimed the life of one.

slowly, but surely, we're getting there. the cabinets are in and we're waiting for the granite counter tops. we got a new side by side fridge and a glass top stove as well as an overhead microwave. I installed a dedicated circuit to it and put the outlet in the top center left cabinet. now we just have to mount the microwave. the endcap cupbord/spice cabinet i think is too deep and doesn't fit well with the furdown and entryway there to the office. it will, however, block the view of the fridge which i guess was the idea in the first place.

more when more work is done.

Two weeks since your last update?! That's lightning fast compared to how fast I do my house projects. It would take me 6 months to do what you just did in two weeks.

Looking good!

That's because they can't eat until the kitchen is done. :haha:

the waiting mainly was for the cabinets.

now all that's left is some tile around the spice cabinet a water line to the fridge from the wall to fridge and hook up the line that was run around the kitchen to the sink plumbing area and the countertops.
been a long but fulfilling day. i'm tired.
