This past January we had our kitchen remodeled by knocking out the wall between the office and the kitchen and making it one large room. Because we aren’t completely crazy and had no wish to become so or to have this project take the next year and a half we hired it done. I am very happy we decided to to this because we couldn’t have done near as nice a job or have gotten it done in 10 days.
Since I was still trying to remove the last accumulated stuff from the office and kitchen as they were showing up to tear everything out, there aren't any before pictures.
The above picture is after it has been gutted and the wall removed. This area is huge compared to how it used to look.
The tile has been laid and the walls have new sheetrock and are painted.
Basically completed with cabinets and island installed.
Megan and Malissa have already taken over the built-in desk.
While this mini-miracle was taking place in the kitchen, we camped out in the basement. Really it wasn’t anything like camping out. More like camping with all your kitchen appliances, electricity, out of the elements, running water, flushable toilets…ah…wait… there was a minor issue with that.
Completely unrelated to the facelift taking place on my kitchen, the drain from the house decided to break off just outside the house. Because of the construction this was noticed right away and not 1 or 2 weeks later when we went down to the basement next.
As of this point there are only a few minor issues to be completed. Some of the lights have to be installed and a couple face plates need to be put on. Other than that we are enjoying all of our new elbow room.
