Kitchen Remodel, Part 1

Kitchen Remodel, Part 1

We finally got started on the kitchen remodel we've been planning since we bought the house last summer. I got the new exterior door and siding done in October but then took the winter off.

We have set up a temporary kitchen of sorts in the living room. We have all of our food there and the microwave and the dining table. We'll leave the sink and dishwasher hooked up as long as possible. We can do dishes in the basement utility sink when we need to. We can just move the range and refrigerator around in the kitchen as needed.

Today we removed all of the wainscoting and a couple of the cabinets. I'll get the rest of the cabinets, except for the sink cabinet, out during the evenings this week. Then I have drywall to install to replace the wainscoting. Meanwhile Carol will be removing the wallpaper.

Now that I can see what I have to work with I'm feeling encouraged. Hopefully we can be finished in about three weeks.
