Kitchen Remodel

Next week starts the kitchen remodel!!

Not just the kitchen either, but all the floors. Well, all the floors that need work.

Total work being done:

 - hardwood in the kitchen
- replace the carpeted stairs with hardwood
- upstairs hallway gets hardwood
- new carpet in all 4 bedrooms
- new carpet in the TV room
- granite countertops
- new sink
- new faucet
- includes all labor, removal, installation, plumbing, and disposal

Additionally, we're doing the lighting, backsplash, cabinet knobs, painting, and contact paper ourselves. I will post before and after photos next week. The kitchen is actually a little worse than usual because we stopped cleaning the floors and counters. I mean, would you? Also, when we started removing the tile backsplash, it was impossible to do without taking huge chunks of the wall. So pretty much, instead of removing the tile, we're taking the wall down and putting it back up.

We also have to get all the small stuff off the floors. The crew will move the furniture around as they go room to room, but stuff like shoes and fans and my sewing notions all have to be packed out of the way. It takes them too much time to move those things, and I want to keep them on schedule.

There are more small stuff than you think on the floor. Look around your house and in closets. It's a lot of work.

This is one the last house projects we have before I can officially say we turned our foreclosure around. The only thing remaining is finishing the basement.
