Started the Kitchen remodel today. Hope to be done by Christmas.
Do you do a kitchen remodel every year?
Seems every new home we buy needs an updated kitchen. I hope this will be the last for a while.
We are finding everything on sale, so the price keeps dropping. I also found some 2 x 4 sheets of beautiful porcelain that I am going to make a countertop out of. 15' of marbled countertop will cost less then $200. Wife bought a farmer's sink. This is the first one I will put in. A little learning curve and a little extra work on the countertop, but it should look good when done. Countertop has gray and gold streaks in the white. Cabinets will be a dark gray. I think it is going to be the best one I have done yet.

I think I am funnier than I really am.

In the Seattle area, my daughter has found mind-numbing bargains for their place. One site they use is “BUY NOTHING,” people give their unwanted things away - it’s amazing what people give away, esp when remodeling. She buys very little.
She does likewise, donating to the popular local thriftshop, and/or BUY NOTHING.
i’m glad for folks to recycle.
She wanted to replace her white tile kitchen counter tops, beautiful, i urged her to keep them. She did.
When they sold, the counter tops were not a hindrance!
New bottom cabinets and countertop. Uppers will be in next week. New flooring is waiting for Phase 3. I have to move the gas fireplace before I can put down the floor.

Stellar work, Robert. I like the wood floors too. Are they in too poor of a condition to save?

Great job Robert. I love it.
We have handles to put on. Last night at 5:45 PM we walked into Lowes to get the drill guide. WE asked for help since they were closing at 6 PM for New Years Eve. They showed they had 63 in stock. After three people helping and no one able to find one, we finally left at 6:05 PM empty handed. I hoped to have the handles installed today, since I have to go back to work tomorrow. Such is life.
I have always found that whenever you need help, it is best to be there at closing time. You get massive help and can get done very quickly.
