Day 1
Day 2
Now that the plumbing is complete, and the new tankless water heater is in place, the guys began on the kitchen.
I was left with a functioning kitchen over the weekend, but Sunday night I needed to empty every cabinet. I have stacks and stacks of dishes in E3's room. Luckily, the weather has been nice so he hasn't played in his room at all.
The decision about the countertop was the easiest yet. The trip to the slab warehouse was fun. The kids accompanied me... and luckily, they didn't break anything... not even close. Although the girls fought over who got to carry the small sample of soapstone on the way home. They took turns every ten miles.
The "before" picture definitely looks better than the other two photos right now. I can't wait to see the "after".
As you can see in the "before" pic, my cabinets began protesting when they heard about their impending doom. Drawers broke, shelves fell out... it was a conspiracy. Similar to the range's recent protest.
I'll keep you posted...

Wow! Extreme Makeover Kitchen Edition. How awesome!! Those 'before' cabinets remind me of the ones in my parent's 'before' kitchen...drawer pulls and all. :)
I hope they work quickly and efficiently so you can have your 'after' photos posted soon & a working kitchen to use!
Looks like you all are making quick work of it! I hope it all goes smoothly for you.
Guard Wife, you should have seen the cabinets 5 years ago before we painted them. They were a pinky/whitewashy finish that wasn't sealed so came off in your hand when you tried to clean them. We painted them to hold over a little longer before a more in-depth remodel.
Wow... this is a MAJOR project! But I know you'll be pleased with the outcome. I'll be patiently waiting for the "after" pics...
Can't wait to see the after pictures! Are you eating out every meal?
