Okay...so we're a little further along now than these pictures show but between work, the remodel and all the other household stuff I'm a wee bit behind. We're still focusing on the electrical - Paul found quite a few issues that had the potential of being really dangerous... so while we're down to the bare bones he is making the necessary repairs! Whew...so glad we're getting this done. Three of the electrical boxes he found were wired incorrectly & had actual solder marks on them from being SO hot... very scary for sure!!! Thank you Lord for protecting our home! So the photos below are from last Friday. We now have LED high efficiency lights in the ceiling and we're wiring for the outlets, overhead sink task light and under the cabinet lighting today! (we took yesterday off)
ALL THE CABINETS ARE GONE...DOWN TO BARE BONES!
THE HOLES FOR 4 NEW LED HIGH EFFICIENCY LIGHTS
(CENTER HOLE WITH BULB IS WHERE THE RETINA BURNING FIXTURE WAS
IT WILL BE CAPPED OFF AND PATCHED)
HUBBY & I DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO
REDO THE LANDING AND STAIRCASE TOO
SO THAT THE JOB IS COMPLETE.
THIS MEAN NEW STONE TILE LANDING & RED OAK
STAIR TREADS DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.

Goodness! Doesn't look like a kitchen at all now! Keep the pictures coming! Love seeing the updates!
ReplyDeleteLooks like progress is being made! It's always such a mess isn't it. Joe swore he would NEVER remodel a house with me still in it again. He said I was the only person he knew that could throw out an entire crew of workmen in 5 minutes flat. You'd think he knew me better wouldn't you! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat update on all the hard work! The kitchen will be beautiful for sure. And it sure is a good thing you got those scary electrical problems taken care of!

this remodel is SO fun...very challenging but FUN and with those crazy electrical issues SO necessary!!! thanks for peeking in Ladies...more photos to come.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the electrical issues are fixed! It's going to look so good when it's done! Are you painting before the cabinets go up too? I did and left messages behind the cabinets where I knew the cabinets would cover which was kinda fun. :) Only I know they are there but it fills the kitchen with love!
ReplyDeletei love that idea Sharla...hope you don't mind i may steal that. we have tons of painting to do! i think i may have to dedicate my messages to Daddy because this kitchen would not be happening without his help, his years of hard work and providing for his family have truly blessed myself & my brothers & sisters. don't know when we'll start painting... have to wait to see how the builder has it planned out, everything is so organized. it's wonderful!!! i have colors picked out...i think. LOL i've already changed my mind 1000 times. today he's finished the electrical & doing some new copper plumbing to maximize the space in my under sink cabinet so i can have a trash bin right there during food prep. when he leaves this evening hubby & i will be on our hands and knees scrapping the wood floor.
