Kitchen Renovations 10

Painting

The two floors are grouted and sealed. As of Monday night the washer and dryer are hooked up again! David is now the proud owner of a hand truck. By Tuesday night I had done 10 loads of wash; 6 of ours and 4 of church tablecloths. Last night was supposed to be drywall repair in the area behind the fridge, but there were some mishaps, so that will be tonight. Then the baseboard and quarter round gets reattached and painted. THEN... we can move the buffet and table back in.

The tile is so pretty!

David is doing a great job of priming all the areas we will need to paint/repaint. It's looking really good! And we have the matching paint for just about everything!

Priming the wall and cabinet sides around the sink. Check out the new hand truck and its fabulous cargo!

Countertop

The countertop measurement was an interesting process. The fellow used a special jointed "arm" attached to his laptop to make the measurements with some CAD program. He was very nice and explained a lot of things. We ended up with some adjustments we had to make: some extra support to be added behind the sink cabinet, trim trimming, temporary pipe removal etc.

Thomas across the street is making a dump run this week (weather permitting) and called to offer to take anything we had. So nice! Soon we will no longer have a countertop and old sink on our front porch.

They are coming to install the new countertop on Monday, the 16th! On Friday they will call with the time window. I am so excited!

The countertop comes with a new stainless steel sink undermounted. We haven't had a kitchen sink in sooo long! Jason comes Monday night to hook up the sink and the DISHWASHER!!!!
