Day 27

Although it has been a slow week with the kitchen remodel, we now have a new kitchen door!! After weeks of walking around the back of the house, Dad finally has easy access to the grill!!

I also forgot to mention that the case of the missing dog bones has been solved. During demo, the workers found them..... on top of the dish washer. Weird!!

Day 19

The new floor is in!!!

An up close look!!

Because they were tiling by both main entrances, they made a tiny path from our basement to the dining room we had to use while the first days tiles were setting. It felt a little awkward coming in from the basement but it only for one night. The day before, I accidentally stepped on the gray mud I hadn't realized was there and left some shoe prints. OOPS!!

While the mud was on the floor and while the first day tiles were setting we had to walk this bridge to get from the dining room to the living room. Can you say runway strut??!!

The next day, we were able to walk on the tiles but had to avoid the few second day tiles and walking on the grout. We had to tip-toe so we didn't step on the cracks. Actually, it wasn't that bad. The tiles are big enough to fit a whole foot.

Poor Gizmo doesn't like all the commotion going on almost every day. We had to trap her in the living room area for a couple days so she didn't step on the mud or tiles. Trying to get her to walk the runway was not fun. Luckily, today and from now on, she can walk on all the tiles without worry.

Day 10

It has only been ten days since the start of our major kitchen remodel. Already, the new door and window is framed, the rough plumbing and electrical finished and inspected, and the drywall is up.

It's really coming along quite fast, so far! Man, I will miss having those cute construction workers around when this is all done.

Extreme Makeover...Kitchen Eidtion!!

Tomorrow is a day 12 years in the making. A day full of excitement, mystery, and anxiety. Tomorrow, contractors start remodeling our kitchen!! Floor, cabinets, counter tops, windows, everything goes. In about 8 weeks, walking in through the garage door will feel like walking into a completely different house. We have spent the past couple of weeks emptying everything from our kitchen area... and I mean everything. And I took a few pictures so we can look back and remember what once was. Not that we would want to. I mean who would want to remember an ugly L- shaped counter-top, over crowded cabinets, and a linoleum floor that NEVER looked clean??
