I haven't done this for a year but I think I'll try. We're getting very close to having the kitchen done - - we're still waiting on the filler and crown molding above the fridge but it should be here next week. A couple weeks ago Tyler showed me how to add pictures to a blog. I was tired at the time and not much sunk in but here goes . . . (I got the pictures but they're in reverse order. If you start at the bottom it will make more sense.)

The finished north counter.

The finished bar.

The finished south counter.

We waited for three weeks for a few pieces of molding (notice corner molding is missing on the bar). When it came the filler above the fridge was missing - - we're still waiting on that.

Tyler hooking up the disposal, tap, drain, and dishwasher. I hooked up the gas stove before he got here.

Floor in, cabinets in, stove sitting in it's spot but not hooked up - - It was like this for about a week while we waited for the countertops.

The beginning of the kitchen floor.

Kitchen floor day - - laminate flooring is stacked over the sink cabinet.

Cabinet installation day.

Dining room floor in.

Paint day. Andrea helped a lot.

Tyler starting to lay flooring in the dining room.

Everything out of the kitchen waiting for Jerry Ferguson to do the tape and mud work.

Tile removal day - - Tyler and I rented a "demolition" hammer (like a jack hammer) and it took almost four hours to undo Dave's excellent tile work - - at times we wished he hadn't done such a good job.

Demolition day - - we moved the red cabinets into the dining room so we could still use them during the remodel.

Sarah and I in the demolition stage. I took the upper cabinets out Friday, October 16, 2009. This looks like it was taken the next day.
