Finally… A New Kitchen!

After several months of finding and conquering our inner most dark places, feats of strength, tests of wills, our new kitchen is 99% complete.

The remaining 1% = toe kicks and paint touch-up around the tile and grout.

We’re Moved In and You Missed It!!!

No actually we got totally engulfed in getting things together so that we could get out of Mario’s apartment by the first and into a liveable house.  So this is why we haven’t updated in a LONG time, and still unfortunately I won’t be able to post pictures at this moment because I am really just killing time at work.  So those will be up tonight. 

But we are in with a functional kitchen and furniture to sit on… Stay tuned for more updates tonight.

So all the floors are up, trim work and cabinets out and the framers started today.  I applied for our permit for construction as soon as we left the abstract company on friday, however I didn’t receive it approved until today, after the framers started framing and tearing things up.  So needless to say i was getting a little nervous.

So the wall between the living room and kitchen is officially done and there are all sorts of wires just hanging down from the ceiling and now I found out that by city code we have to have smoke detectors hardwired in, how much is that gonna cost!  Anyway, I guess safety first.  Tomorrow the electrician will be here to do his stuff.  Here’s to electricity!!! Come on in to see some pics!
