Kitchen Remodel, Part 2


It's been nothing but fun around here on the weekends and evenings!

Two weekends ago I spent most of the time removing wallpaper and glue. Last weekend I made some minor electrical adjustments and got the drywall all hung (replacing the paneling wainscoting that we removed). This weekend I spent most of my time replacing the old warped sink window.

Just a little bit more fine tuning to do on the drywall mudding. It's a little harder to match drywall to plaster than it is to do all new drywall. We have one portion we can't close up because we're waiting for the electrician. He's supposed to come first thing tomorrow. Then I can complete the rest of the taping. Finally we'll skim coat all of the wall surface that will be visible.

Next up is probably floor sanding. We were going to wait until after the kitchen was complete but it makes sense to do it before the cabinets are in.
