Day Two of Cabinet Installation

There's been lots of progress! Today I think Jed will install the crown molding, upper cabinet doors, and finish up the rest of the cabinet loose ends. Next on the list will be removing the carpet in the dining area to prepare for the new flooring. I'm quite pleased with the way everything is coming together.

The Cabinets Are Here!

Jed got a good start at installing the new cabinets. The rest will probably be finished tomorrow. The flooring will go in Thursday and Friday. Yay!!

Here are the light fixtures that will hang above the island.



















Here is the pantry.

































The rest is sitting in our living room until tomorrow.

Rainy Day

It's been chilly and rainy today, so I took advantage and washed bedding, paid bills (ew), and folded and put away lots of laundry.

We have a busy week ahead. Tomorrow night we will be attending Bill's cousin Carter's wedding and then Tuesday our new cabinets arrive! Coming home from work Tues - Fri will be like Christmas morning! I can't wait to see how everything comes together. I'll post pictures, of course.

Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday's Progress

Yesterday Jed got a lot of prep work done. He patched dry wall, removed the sophets and a couple of can lights that are no longer needed. He also added an outlet for the convection microwave. It's already looking so much better!

Today Jed moved the phone line, did some prep work for the new lighting we bought tonight, did more dry wall patching, and the list goes on. Tomorrow I will post some new pictures to finish off the busy week.



















See, you can cook during a kitchen remodel!


















Here's a tote full of "everyday" items that I'll show in another post. On top I keep these items so I don't have to dig for them.

Resourcefulness

Hammie and Ree have been living in the new pool Bill bought them last weekend. Subsequently a small portion of their closets and drawers have made their way onto the decks.

Yesterday Hammie made a "no slivers trail" out of their discarded clothes so that he could walk barefoot down to the grass. Smart! He wasn't very happy when I gathered up his trail to wash it tonight.

There's No Turning Back Now

That's what Bill said yesterday when I came home from work to our torn apart kitchen. As you can see.....our old fridge was leaking and had made quite a moldy mess under the linoleum. It's already looking better today and that section will be replaced tomorrow.

Jed is doing a great job! Although it's a teeny bit difficult to cook without a kitchen sink, I have full use of my oven/stove top and am already loving the new fridge. By this time next week Jed will have made a dent in putting in the new cabinets. Yay!

Flowers

Tonight while I was supervising Ree in the pool, I took a few pictures of one of our backyard flower beds.
