Kitchen Chit-Chat

We are moving on! Today the electrical, lighting wiring, ceiling fixtures & plumbing have been completed...so that means we're officially moving onto the floor! This is going be a HUGE undertaking because we have to scrap the floor by hands before we can sand...but oh how I'm longing to see those pretty oak floors come back to life after being covered with glue and 3 layers of ugly flooring!!!

Our beautiful new LED lights are in and shinning brightly. They're so soft on the eyes, yet way brighter then our old fixture and 4 of the LED'S use less electricity than just one bulb from the old retina burning fixture we used to have. CHA-CHING on the $$$avings. Paul did tons more wiring to get ready for the overhead sink fixture and the under the cabinet lighting too but it's to hard to show in pics. 

Our beautiful copper plumbing now place behind the wall instead of coming up through the floor...this will add 9" more inches of cabinet space under the sink. Everything Paul is doing is ALL about maximizing every inch of our kitchen. YEAH!!! 



SIDE NOTE: Happy Anniversary Sweetie!!! Thank You for 15 WONDERFUL Years!!! 

Wednesday Chuckle

These days I'd like to make this wish too....

Kitchen Update

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
