The shittiest part of this remodel is that I cannot be there to help Tom that much... so, what do you do when you're at home with a 2 year old all day?!? POTTY TRAINING. Anyways, that's what we've been up to. But, I hired a babysitter for tomorrow and for a few hours on Saturday - so progress pictures to come (Tom's not so good with that, all he wants to do is get to work! Ha!)
At any rate, we've been working on some things at home in the evenings - it seems there's always a million things to talk about and discuss. Last night, we drew up the plan for tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to Allegheny Mill Works - the wood work we have is beautiful and thick and all of that is missing in the 3rd bedroom so I need to get something that matches (you should see it - they put standard builder grade trim up while remodeling the 2nd bedroom and it just looks wrong). And, tomorrow, I'll be taking the red truck so we can fill it up and load off some trash at the dump.
So, we bought that bunch of cabinets from KraftMaid warehouse, remember?
About a week or two ago, we went through the cabinets and measured everything and inventoried what we had - gave each cabinet a number (1-32). Then, we took those measurements and started playing tetris with our kitchen drawing. Trying to fit them in where we can. Its actually working out pretty well. AND, we have two 'appliance garages!'
We've changed around SO many things in the kitchen. The fridge used to be by the back door entrance, now its almost on the opposite corner. The cooktop was going to be in the island, but the island is just not big enough for that and to have chairs, so now we are going to buy a stove/oven unit instead of use what we have. (we also had a JennAir wall oven with a wall microwave - the microwave was just HUGE!) I wanted a 'breakfast nook' where the range is now located, but it just didn't seem like we had enough room. AND, we are going to make a really cool tile wall behind the stove, and the stove will have a hood over it.
Whew, this just makes me think about ALL the work that I need to do! (picking out the tile, hood, etc.)
We are exactly 2 months into this project. Haven't started 'finishing' much of anything... supposedly finishing takes the longest.
We originally wanted to move in Sept 1st. Now, we are definitely thinking Oct. 1st. Who knows, maybe we will have to even push that back... ughsjp@#$^@%$%^$!!!
Happy Thursday everyone!
