Look what we Got done!

So here are some more photos of the week/weekend.  Parents came down and gave us gracious help with the kitchen. Huge progress was done on the kitchen as well as the wall that "was" in between now it is just a gaping hole that needs to be filled. However, in that process we found out how much wiring work was needed in the house... the current system does not make very good sense. I guess that's the winter project.

Notice the cabinets/ drawers moved?
Yeah tons of Sheet-rocking there
Oh and the cabinets; Oh we got things to say about the cabinets  Thank the Lord for a patient father to help us save our old cabinets and build up some new ones. This is something each homeowner/ re modeler will discover, you can save things if you have a tight budget, but they will take time and skill. I know if it were just my opinion, the cabinets probably would have come out, but to get the stoutness of these. it may have been close to a 3000-4000 dollar cabinets, not to mention the work/time for re-sheet-rocking. Though the plumbing had to be updated and I am going to re-route wires this week. We think the decision to keep and restore the cabinets will be a good one. Once again...a big THANK YOU goes out to patient help.

Our small Peninsula (yay no-more wall)




Basement Laundry room cabinets were painted up really well.  Look!!!  A toilet!!!


We got a splash of color on the once dull and boring stairwell. Then there is the outside of the bathroom window, as you can see we have to do some residing, but we really don't have alternate ideas for the space... suggestions?
