Kitchen Remodel, Part 2

Well, first of all, we are back at home and will be sleeping in our own beds tonight. I can really tell that the girls are glad to be back here. Last night at the hotel was much better, though. We had a pull-out couch in our room, so we pulled out the bed last night and let Mary Joyce have her own "big girl" bed. It was much more peaceful than the night before. :-)

Now, on to the kitchen. First, here are a couple of pictures from early in the week, after the demo was complete, and the installation had begun:




Here are some pictures from today. The installation is almost finished. The contractor says he will be done tomorrow, and the dishwasher and microwave are due to be delivered and installed tomorrow. Then, we will only be waiting for countertops. (Those are the old countertops you are seeing. They are there so that we will have a sanitary work surface while we are waiting on the new ones.)




While all of this work was being done, we also have a new light fixture/ceiling fan in our family room. (The room had been a cave--soooo dark, but it wasn't even wired to have a ceiling light before.) They also changed out the electrical box. Many of the houses here were originally built with the idea of being seasonal-type homes, not full-time residences for a family of 4, so they were not equipped with some things that are essential for a full-time home, like a circuit box that can handle AC/heat, a washer/dryer, a dishwasher, etc... So, even though there isn't much to see with that, it is still a big deal.
