Another Beam, Planning Electrical


More drywall and painting to be added to the plan. Movement of a beam in the basement caused some lovely cracks/tears in the recently painted dining room.

Moving Along

Today the framing continued a bit - mostly where the old pantries came out. The new cabinet layout was marked on the floor with tape. Still hard to imagine what it will feel like, but hopefully bigger.

We're All Done With Green

CJ likes to say that we're all done with green. Plans for the new kitchen are pretty neutral. Lava gray marmoleum, white cabs, white subway backsplash, oiled soapstone and walnut counters and a tan wall color on the small area that won't be covered with cabinets or backsplash.

Skylight

Removing this old chimney stack:


Gave us this skylight:


It's not part of the kitchen plans. The extra space, however, will be very welcome and Daddy has plans to use some of the bricks in the yard.

Day Two


Did we mention Daddy was on the demo crew. Sounds like a fun vacation, doesn't it?

Day One Part Two


Here's what it looked like after day one. Before any day two work started.

Adios

Bye, Bye old kitchen. What will we miss the most?

The wall speakers?


The grimy cabinet under the sink?


The junk-collecting desk?


The single person, non-functional work area?


Or Mama's favorite - the grout that would never come clean?
