Kitchen Cabinets...

Here are the long awaited kitchen cabinets. We are so happy with how they turned out. There are a few issues that we need to fix (doors opening the wrong way, etc.) but we are very happy with the result. Next up is granite, paint and flooring. Our latest time frame is 3 weeks.

Walls and Windows...

The house got a little face lift. New windows! They are so shiny and clear, ahhhh. Our old windows were the 1961 originals and a set of storm windows on top of that. I guess in some one's mind two sets of single pane windows equals a double pane window. It was impossible to clean and always looked dirty. The front windows came with the white grid in them, which we didn't want, so soon enough they will be replaced without that.

And here is our drywall. Ready for the texture. It's strange how you can forget what your house actually looks like. Obviously we knocked down some walls and had oak paneling so things will look different, but instead of the shell of a house it's starting to look normal again.

Keep your fingers crossed.... our kitchen cabinets are suppose to be delivered and installed tomorrow. It will be so nice to see them!

More Progress...

We have walls again!!!!! We have been waiting and waiting for some real progress. The contractor said once things get started, it moves very fast. Bring it on!

The outside of our house looks so sad. Poor house, poor windows, poor yard and poor port-a-potty.

Slowly Getting There...

So not much has been changing that we can see. All the work up until now has been new electrical work, new duct work, and then passing inspection for all that. But then this week.... things began. Yipee! The attic rafters have been treated (so they don't smell like smoke) and the new insulation has been put in the exterior walls. And yes, that is our drywall sitting in the dinning room. The next step is to drywall, texture and paint.

Hopefully things will move quickly now. We talked to our project manager today and he seems to think we will be in the house in 4 weeks. We are SOOO ready to get back into our house. Fall is my favorite season and I really want to start decorating, but it's a good thing that it's still 90+ degrees here and no hint of fall is in the air. Hopefully we will have many happy trick or treaters in our newly redesigned house.
