Week 2: Kitchen Remodel

It has been coming along nicely. Can't believe that we're really having it done. The kitchen is totally gutted, we have a new door and window installed. Lights are in and some of the electrical work is complete. Prime and paint starts tomorrow. Cabinets should be delivered on Thursday and installed on Friday. Our appliances will be delivered on Saturday. Then the cabinets will be measured for counter tops next week. Floor tile gets going around that time, too. Actually, it's moving along pretty quickly, quicker than I thought. Our contractor is great and keeps me informed on what's happening all the time.

Not only the kitchen is being remodeled, but we're having a wall put up between the living room and office, like it was when we bought our house, creating a fourth bedroom again (forget the office what a waste of space that was). Hmmm, room for more guests, or just more sewing space! Plus we had the popcorn ceiling removed, ugh I always hated that stuff!!

So it's been pretty busy around here, but I haven't gone crazy yet. Our house is a mess and it's a little bit of a challenge to fix dinner, but we manage and I guess I prepared myself that this is the way it's going to be for a while. All my kitchen gadgets and electrical appliances have come into full force! Just ordered this cookbook, hope it will be useful, The Gourmet Toaster Oven.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend and I'll be back with some work in progress pics!
