2003 Kitchen Remodel Project
The Second Week
It took essentially all of the first weekend of work to empty
the kitchen (food, dishes and pots and pans), set up the temporary kitchen
and to make our major buying trip to Home Depot.
The second weekend was devoted to demolition and temporary
removal of the appliances and also saw the beginning of construction for the new
trim details and the electrical work. Francie's dad, Rich, helped out all
day Sunday. We would not have gotten nearly as far without his help.
Thanks, Rich.

New construction |
|
A new wall is being added at the right-side of the counter area to help conceal the water heater and furnace. This entire length will be a glorious, continuous run of countertop! |

New construction |
|
The beam and opening that separate the laundry area (used to be a back porch, once upon a time) from the kitchen. The beam is being "lowered" to the same height as the soffit and will help carry electrical wiring. |
