Kitchen Remodel: Day 1 & 2

This whole week we've been under construction. I've decided that besides living without a toilet while you remodel a bathroom, trying to live without a kitchen has to be the hardest home remodeling challenge.

But the worst is over--the demolition. The kids got in on the act. After a few quick whacks with the hammer, they disappeared upstairs where it was safe.



One last look at the kitchen before it all comes tumbling down.


Cabinet doors gone (hey, I'm pretty good with a drill) and the Golfer getting ready to remove the island.

This is where the stove, microwave, and mini desk used to be. It's the future home of our bar, mini fridge included.


Every thing's out--including the kitchen sink! I did my part by hauling out all of the old to make way for the new. I wish that I had remembered to take a picture of the lovely dumpster that was parked out in our driveway. I'm sure the neighbors were impressed.

And here we are at the end of day 2. You can't see it from here, but there's a dishwasher and a microwave in my living room.

The cabinets are being delivered today, new range delivered tomorrow. More pics to come...
