The kitchen almost finished

These are pictures of the now functioning kitchen. Before DH and Big Sister went to visit some relatives, he got the dishwasher working and the sink in place. We still need to take down the upper cabinets, move them down and then put them back up. After that we can fill the cabinets and then we just need to get the floor put in. Right now I am not in that great a hurry for the floor, but will be glad when the cabinets are moved.

Kitchen part 4 coming down the home stretch

These are the latest pictures. The upper cabinets need to be taken down moved over 1/4 of an inch and reinstalled. My DH had a friend come over yesterday (Sunday) and help him get everything set up correctly. When DH finished securing the base cabinets, he realized that they were 1/4 of an inch different than the upper cabinet and with the fridge having the wall between it and the cabinets for a long cabinet above it, the upper and lower cabinets have to match. So much for getting my sink done before the new dishwasher arrives tomorrow morning.

And yes that is a Christmas tree you see in the corner of one of the pictures. Our tree, artificial, is stored in my DH's workshop, which is where the old kitchen cabinets are headed. So until the cabinets get moved (you can see the old cabinets in the dining room shot), the tree needs to stay up. If it is still up on the first day of Summer, I am just going to leave it up for next Christmas.

Kitchen part 3

These pictures are of the painting process. The pink on the ceiling is a special kind that goes up pink and dries white so that you can see where you have painted.

Kitchen Part 2

Here are the other pictures from the early renovations, including the ceramic floor, which when it came to removing, were more fun than any human being should be allowed to have.

Kitchen Renovation Part 1

I am moving over to Blogger because I want to upload kitchen pictures, and I only have about 50 more years to live and I didn't want to spend them waiting for pictures to upload :-)

This is the wall where the sink, kitchen window and door out to the deck is, or should I say used to be. The deck came off about 8 years ago and the door had been the door to nowhere. When this picture was taken, we were waiting for the new window (old window leaked like crazy) and to put up the drywall.

For some reason, I cant upload other pictures, so I will see if starting a new post works. I am still new at this blogging thing :-)
