Seriously

The house is such a campground that I'm making my lunch next to a roll of toilet paper.

Doug has been busy priming the walls. Painting will start soon. The cabinets arrive tomorrow.

Insulation Out

Lance was back to put the wall back together, tape and mud. We hope to be able to prime on Wednesday. It's really wet so we'll see.

Remodel–Day 3

The electricians and plumber were busy today. At the end of the day, they got a lot done but the kitchen looks more “undone” today. The plumbers ran a new line from the sink to the new fridge and got rid of the old line (by cutting a small hole in the floor).

The Inspector General (Ravel) was checking things out after everyone left today.

The electrician put in new outlets, ran a bunch of new wires for the undercabinet lighting and generally cut holes in the wall. Thankfully all this area will be covered with backsplash tile or cabinets.

Here ends Day 3.

Remodel Day 1

The remodel has started!Doug was home today and sent a few pictures but I was excited to get home to see the progress. I really couldn’t believe how much they got done in a single day. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken us to get all this done on our own.

The appliances were moved into the living room, the floors were covered, a branded rug was brought in to match the sign in our yard.

When I got home, Lance was here working on the drywall. Apparently he had a sidekick/assistant earlier in the day.  The kitchen looks so big! Buzz, the site supervisor, joked with Doug after they had the cabinets out asking if we really wanted to go through with this. We have been 100% impressed with College City so far. Hopefully it will continue this way throughout the project.

In addition to all the demolition, the new pantry (above) and new closet (below) have been framed, drywalled and mudded.

This is of course throwing the cats off. We will be keeping them in the basement during the day. Ravel made a pass through after we opened the door. Nigel reluctantly came out of the cave to eat and then darted back in.

 

We are already finding the new food prep/eating set up rather annoying. Even though we are super organized with what is out and where it is, it’s still time consuming. We have both instinctively headed into the “kitchen” to get some water or look for a dish to find nothing there.
