Well, seems like we are sluggishly moving right along with the kitchen remodel. It seems like the last few days have just slowed down and not too much progress is being made, but I should be more optimistic I guess. I'm just getting really ansy to get this project completed, so that I can have back the kitchen sink. I think that at this point that is one of the commodities that I'm missing the most and will be relieved once it's back in business. For the time being we are washing Kateli's dishes and sippy cups in the bath sink, and we are using styrofoam cups and plates, as well as disposable plastic ware. Since the last update, we've had the electrician out again to redo the canned lighting over the island, which Dan and I figured were not originally installed per the drawing. He was also out to shift the canned lighting along the range wall, three were off by 1.5 in and the one that's supposed to be centered on the fridge was shifted over 3 in!!! This week, we had all of the sheet rock work completed so that mud and tape could come in and do their thing so as to make all the patching look seamless. Tape and mud person didn't show up until about 4pm yesterday--only 6 hours later than we expected him to be here. He's supposed to be here again today, but who knows what time and how much he will get completed. Oh well...I'll stop now...maybe we'll get more progress done so that I can write some more later. Here are pics that I took this morning. It's starting to look a little more complete, I guess. At least we've got dry wall on the island so it's not just studs of wood in the middle of the room. Enjoy....
* First pic is of the wall next to the fireplace. Remember those built in shelves? They are gone. We are not quite sure what we're going to put along this wall, so it may just be bare for a little while.
* The second pic is a view of the new entry into the kitchen from the garage. It used to be on the other side. We will now be able to fix up that 1/2 bath in the back and actually have a guest bath!!
* The third pic and fourth pic is of our new island. Looking more like an island now that it is actually dry walled. The sink will be located here, as well as the dishwasher, a hidden wastebasket and another cabinet for misc stuff.
* and the last picture is kind of hard to tell but it's our new pantry. It's not real big, by any means, but it beats not having a pantry at all!
