Day 21 of the Remodel

Our tile floor has been grouted and we have a few of the floor cabinets installed!  Not all the grout has been scrubbed off the tile yet, so they don't look nearly as good as they will.  Tomorrow, they plan to install more cabinets to prepare for templating. as well as some electrical work in the walls.

Here are the cabinets showing some of the cool features.

Day 15 of Remodel

A lot happened today.  They removed all the cabinets (except for the microwave and cabinet above it), all the tile in the kitchen, all the appliances, the 2nd layer subfloor, and delivered all the tile.

Unfortunately we can't remove the soffet because it is actually a load bearing beam.  This caused us to have to order 3 new cabinets and now we have 2 extra 36inch wide cabinets that we need to find a use for...

Ugh., I guess this couldn't go too smoothly.

You can see the holes they punched into the soffet to see what was inside.

Here is where the left the microwave on the wall.

Day 10 of the Remodel

Long day for the contractors today.  They were still working when I got home, so Sarah and I took Ellie for dinner and picked up Davey from my parents.  They pretty much finished all the wood flooring.  Only work that remains is to finish the pantry, inside the closet, as well as replacing the base boards.  We also picked our grout colors for the back splash and kitchen tile floor.

Ellie slipped on the new floor.

She wanted to prove she could walk across it.

Kitchen Remodel update

So, its official.  We wrote our first checks for the remodel.  We have ordered all the hardwood and tile for the floors.  Soon I should know what the timeline is for people to be in my house tearing out my floor and kitchen.
