vacation week progress

We’re heading back to work tomorrow so it seems like a good time to show the progress we’ve make on our kitchen remodel project. As of tonight all but one of the new cabinets have been installed. We can’t install that one until we run the wire for some additional lighting

Test fitting the first three cabinets on this side of the room. They must fit together precisely, lots of messing around involved to make it so. By the way, the long piece of wood laying at the back of the cabinets on the left isn’t a random scrap rather it’s a “story stick” that is marked with the exact location of each cabinet along that wall.

The dishwasher set in place to be sure it’s door will clear the range. It does. All the cabinets here have been set in place. The upper cabinet above the dishwasher still needs to be put up. Our new range came this week too. We’ve installed it (but not the down draft vent ductwork – that will have to wait) and it works!

These are all firmly attached. Still bunches to do but it’s starting to look almost like a real kitchen…

(You can see I have more 37 year old carpet to remove. I’m hoping to have it all up by the end of the week so we can have the floors measured for porcelain tile! We also have the kitchen sink ordered and it should be here Thursday. THEN we can have the cupboards measured for quartz worktops! I'm so excited!! This is so cool! ~Su)
