Kitchen Update








Here are 4 pictures of the kitchen. After many hours of cutting a pasting I have finished laying the tile on the back-splash. I still have to grout the tile so it isn't completely finished yet and will look much better after the grouting is done. But wanted you all to see the work in progress.

kitchen update






Here are a few pictures of the continuing remake of our kitchen. I spent most of July 4th and 5th tearing out the old counter tops and sink and installing the new ones. Saturday I build the knee wall and installed the bar top. I did make the requisite 3 trips to Home Depot on Friday, but only 2 trips on Saturday. I would have only been 1 trip on Saturday, but I didn't follow the builders code of measure twice and cut once. I measured 3 times and still the boards too short. Next step is to finish the back below the bar top with oak plywood, and the side part as well. I hope that only entails 1 trip to the HD. After that will be to install tile on the back splash up to the bottom of the cupboards. Once that is done, all that will be left is to install a new floor. So as you can see we are still "im bau".
