The kitchen...

We moved in to my in-laws the end of Dec. Nate is helping them remodel the kitchen while we are living with them. He is only home on sat and sunday though so sat is the only day things get very far (if we are lucky). This project started about one week later. This is the progress so far...



The Wall was made of cinder blocks so a new wall had to go up. There were a few 2x4's but it was only on part of the wall and we needed to make new outlets and do new plumbing. Plus be able to install the new cabinets. Yes there was a window but it broke... (they are being replaced luckily( it was planned before that happened))

The floor had to be redone. So those are all new floor boards. We have to wear shoes or get slivers in our feet. I've been wearing socks and pulling the wood pieces out of them. I don't like wearing shoes. The other wall is all plaster and there will be more holes soon. It's interresting to see how they did things 50+ years ago. Today Nate and Chris tackled the wiring. They made more holes but they are in the laundry room which is on the other side of the "new wall"

This was an oven once upon a time. It has not worked in years, Nate does not remember it working and he grew up here. They turned it into a shelf thingy. I'm not sure what it's giong to be. Possibly a shelf again(or rather, crap collector).

Those are my father-in-laws feet. He had to climb in there and pull the wire through by taping it to the old wire so they would not have to make a huge hole in the ceiling. It's been so much fun. I get to keep the kids out of the way. The projected time of construction was one month. I'm not sure if it will be done by the end of this month.
