Thanks everybody
Angie is really happy with it. We actually got through all of the remodel with few problems. Nothing major, but at the same time I hafta say not all went super well. We had a lot of adjustments along the way.
It was a big help having my brother and bil available to help me with my end of it as I could not do some things by myself...the new beams holding up the kitchen are quite heavy!
A few other issues too...a couple of flaws in the flooring we are still working on with the installer, that is going well. As I mentioned the wine rack needed cut down but that was my cabinet guy's fault...he forgot we were taking that wall out when he measured. And, some how my brother and I managed to reverse the draft on the stove the second time we installed it...it's a down draft one but now it blows up...
Angie is not impressed with that
I think we just crossed some wires, an EZ fix, just need my bro and bil here to help me pull it out.
It has been so much fun seeing the expressions on people's faces that did not see any of the remodel part in progress, like my son and nephew. My son was aware of it but as we got closer we didn't allow him to see it and we didn't tell my nephew...he was busy with NAVY and his buddies...he actually came by last Sunday morning while we were at church, he has a key, you should have heard the phone msg. I had when I got in the car
it was hilarious! He actaully was kind of scared, thinking he was in the wrong house, or sold we the house to someone...until the goldens attacked him
We had a BBQ last Sunday so most have seen it now except a few that couldn't make it like my ex-wife and the kidnapper. The kidnapper saw the walls down but that was in the very beginning stages and my ex-wife hasn't seen it yet. I know she will be happy for us and a little jealous too...she spent 10 years in that kitchen.
Even our 14.5 month old
GRANDdaughter1 knew the house was different
But it didn't take
her long to find a drawer that she could open
And, honestly, it just so happend to have
her spoons, bibs, puff treats, and extra binky in it....
She was in
heaven ...as it should be!
I will say, with the walls down it is pretty loud when everyone is here...seems to carry down into the family room more too
Yep loud and noisy....
but that's the way we roll!
Enjoy your families
I Wish She Had A Bigger Rack....
Absolutely beautiful Gary and Angie! Looks so open, despite some darker colours replacing the all-white from before. Love the "red" and black combo with the cream above.
