Kitchen Remodel - pray for me!

I made the mistake of watching "Holmes on Homes" the night before they gutted my kitchen. I'm pretty sure that jinxed me...

I had to go outside and through my basement level garage so I could climb a ladder from the basement to my wall-mounted microwave on the first floor for 2 months until we finally had a floor.

I think you win.

I took a bazillion photos to show the work that was done every day. Of course I haven't uploaded them all yet. I'll try to work on that soon.

But I will say, for all the hassle, it was so worth it.

I'm buried in it now.

One tiny scratch in the surface dreck revealed a complete disaster, complete with burned and rotten flooring and mysterious/hazardous wiring. Not sure when we're going to even move in, let alone have a finished kitchen. At least we still can watch the TdF at the old place.



I wonder: does remodeling have its own patron saint or do we go straight to St. Jude?

I'm thinking straight to the Virgin Mary. She's a woman - she'll understand.

Eleven cabinets, one corner turntable thingie (love it!!), a bunch of drawers, a cabinet that has sliding shelves - in 1.5 days!!! That's demo of the old stuff including countertops & installation of cabinets!! Now - where to put everything??

Waiting for final measuring of countertops so they can install corian. No water because corian will include the sink. Then installation of new stove & microwave and repair of tile. So, still doing dishes in bathroom sink & no microwave but at least the stove is hooked up & we put old shelving over the new cabinets to make a temporary counter.

I used a local company known for its upscale work. Heard too many horror stories about Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. I wanted to be able to grab the owner by the throat if necessary. These people aren't cheap and I had to wait 1 month for the cabinets to be made, but so far, so good.
