Here's our project manager and cabinet man.
Ron has been an absolute joy to work with. I will miss his
professionalism, workmanship, and humor. Great job Ron!
Demolition! Remove it all! Cabinets,
counters, and most of the appliances |

Eliminate those ugly soffitts.
Electrical.
New appliances arrive. |

Ever wonder what the
inside of your walls look like?
 |
 |

Wall boards, dry wall, etc.
Soffitts are history. You can't even tell they
were there. |

Cabinets arrive.
Solid maple boxes, doors, and interiors. Cinnamon
stain. Revere style doors. |
|
Cabinet installation begins.
Our new fridge's home.

05/24/04 Dishwasher
installed today. Lots of little detail work. Drawer handles
installed. Etc. Note the green front on the dishwasher is just a
temporary protective guard.
Here's the inside of the lovely pantry. |
| Under cabinet Zeon lighting. Now
that's what I call bright!
 |
12 05/25/05
Getting down to the nitty gritty. More touch ups
and detail work. Big points today are the stove and lights.
|
| Ron spent the day doing final touch up
and clean up while waiting around for the granite guys that blew us off!
So the only thing to show today is what we did with
some of our old cabinets. Our improved laundry room.
I did manage to get my wine cabinet mostly filled.
Dang it, I'll have to buy more wine;-)
|
13 05/26/04
A somewhat disappointing day. The granite guys
from Skyline Tile and Marble blew us off. So far this has
been the only frustrating part of the process. They didn't show up
on Tuesday claiming a scheduling mistake. We expected them to show
up Wednesday morning, then late morning, then they never showed up.
This has now moved the scheduling of the tile guy out to next week.
They now claim they'll be here first thing on Thursday. We'll see!

Finally! The long awaited granite counters. 2 cm
thickness with rounded edges.
Besides the granite, Ron finished up odds and ends.
This includes the lazy Susan door and the garbage pull out drawer. |
| |
15 The
kitchen is 98% complete. All that remains is the tiled back splash.
That will come in on Tuesday, June 1.
