Kitchen remodel

We're in the middle of a kitchen remodel at the ol' estate here. It's been quite an undertaking. My in-laws and I demolished the existing kitchen on Memorial Day weekend. We're hoping the entire project will be complete by Labor Day. So, we're going through the whole summer with no kitchen - just a fridge, microwave, and toaster oven in the dining room.

Here are some fun pics of the demo days:

Before - doors and drawers removed


Taking down sheet rock from entry way which will also be taken out

The end of demo weekend:


Since then:

• the frame of the entry way has been removed
• floors cleaned to prep for new tile
• electricians came and ran new lights and other outlet lines
  
• gas line added for our new gas cooktop
• a little plumbing work
  
• trench dug in slab to run electricity to new island
• new sheet rock patches
• new texture on walls and ceiling - to replace that wretched popcorn that we took down on demo day
• Cabinets designed and measured. They are being built now off site

So, after 6 weeks, the room looks like a finished version of how it looked after demo weekend. However, all the unseen work has been done. Hopefully, once the cabinets are finished, things will fall together quickly. When they're installed, we can then put in the floor, trim, and start painting while we await the granite counter tops.

Why do we continue to torment ourselves with these projects? It's just a sickness that has infested this household!
