Kitchen Renovation Begins


We decided months ago that it was time to update our kitchen, to be more beautiful, and my favorite reason, more functional! We learned that our Amish-made cabinets will be done in a couple of weeks, so intensity begins as we make sure the wiring is how it needs to be, the venting, and the preparations for the new floors, including painting the walls. The ceiling was finished last week, with new lights and new paint. Please note that anytime the word "we" happens in connection with real work on this project, it can be substituted for "Todd", or "My Sweetie". He is owning this project, and with the generous help of friends, is taking it in small pieces and getting the job done. The only outside, paid help he will get is from Erwin, the Amish cabinet maker who will also install.

I'm anxious to post a few pictures and update the progress!!

These picture of the demolition of the soffits were actually taken several weeks ago, just after Christmas. That's when we learned that there are pipes hidden in the soffits and that a Sawzall really will saw All, even water pipes!


This picture shows the new canned lights. We still need to choose pendants.
