Kitchen Remodel!!!

Our kitchen as it looked Sept. 2008

Sept. 2008 notice the brick wall

Sept. 2009 process of taking cupboards etc. down.

Where the stove was

Yeah! the brick wall is out of our kitchen!

A close look at the old counter top

What was found under the sink

The area under the sink after the cleaning, rebuilding the floor and painting.

The sticky job of putting up the lamenate back splash took four of us. Pictured are Jess, James and Phil. I was taking the picture.

I was cleaning the cupboards.

Phil and Jess (Rambo look-alikes) hard at work on the rebuild of the long lower cupboard.

Tah Dah!! The finished and improved kitchen.

We also have a new sink and faucet.

Love the freshly painted walls.

This project started Friday Sept. 4th 2009 and continued through Tuesday Sept. 8th. The work involved:
REMOVING cupboards, drawers, counter top, dish washer, sink, want-to-be brick that was hard glued to drywall, stove,
REBUILDING the long lower cupboard, the floor under the sink,
PUTTING IN new drywall, counter top,
CAULKING in many places,
PAINTING new drywall and lower cupboards,
CLEANING electrical outlets, cupboards, drawers, stove, and dishwasher.
I extend my sincere thanks to Jess, Phil and James, for their hard work, a big thanks to Ariela for offering her kitchen to us while ours was being worked on, a large thank you to Larry the owner of our house who gave us the okay to work on the kitchen and paying for the materials needed.

YIPPEE, NO MORE FAKE BRICK WALLS!!!!
