Re-doing the Kitchen...

We are finally geting around to getting the Kitchen done. We saved it for last, that and we couldn't work in the yard anymore, cuz it was getting cold. So the yard will have to wait till next spring. But YES the kitchen is getting a HUGE facelift.

Heres how the Kitchen looked before we started tearing it out. Just not quite enough cabinets to put all my junk in.



The top cabinets came out really quick. It helped to have "Mr. Brawn" (aka Nathan) here to help tear it out, I think it took all of ten minutes




The bottom cabinets however were a different story. We literally had to take it apart piece by peice.....those cabinets were in there for life and all eternity!! And the countertops were the same. The next time I do a kitchen (which will be next to never) I will seriously consider laminate, that stuff is really durable and dang near impossible to pull out.





Finally everything is out, and ready for the cabinet guy to get started. And yes that is a bucket under the taps. We have always had a small leak under the sink, from the time we moved in. But when we took the sink out, it became a gusher, and made a huge puddle (lake) in the basement! My favorite saying when something goes wrong is " No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" And I have said it almost everyday since we started this project.


UPDATE: We are nearing the end of the remodel project, the microwave and stove are the last to be put in which (crossing my fingers) should be today or tomorrow.....YEAH! I wont be posting pictures of the new kitchen, for awhile anyway ...that way you will have to come by and see it.
