Kitchen Counter Update - Night 147

This post is for you, Mom! :-) Much progress was made this weekend! As with all house projects, it's taking much longer than anticipated, and it's snowballing into more (and more) projects. After many, many hours, Mark installed the new counter tops today with help from Mike and Tony. The new stove and downdraft vents are in place but not completely installed. Next to come: the tile back splash, run the gas to the stove, & remove the cabinets above the stove, and install the new kitchen window above the sink. We're getting there. It looks great and I couldn't be happier. After having the pleasure of scrubbing pots and pans in the bath tub this week because I didn't have a sink, this feels like heaven!End of the night, late Sunday. New counters, sink & stove! The kitchen is a disaster with tools, sawdust, and tarps, but we're getting there.

Making the first cuts on the laminate in the living room, using the old laminate as a template.


Mike, Mark, and Tony - Not sure if the goofy grins are because the laminate is in place or because they'd been breathing in the contact cement fumes for so long. Thanks for the help, guys!
