In with the new kitchen II

Well, we made another pretty huge dent today in the cabinets. The key to the process is just finding your flow and thankfully once you've built a couple, they're all basically the same. We weren't able to finish the tall cabinets still because we didn't want to make a...

In with the new kitchen

Hubby was off work today so we headed over to the house to check the progress and start putting together our kitchen. When we arrived we were pleased to find that the kitchen floor was finished and had been completely grouted and the first cleaning done. While we were...

Out with the old…kitchen VIII

So we decided to tear out the old floor from the former kitchen and will lay down new hardwood floors. Rather ambitious even for us but thankfully since my mom is here, we have a very good guide who can walk us through everything. Otherwise we'd have to be refiguring...

Out with the old…kitchen VII

Macky our contractor is now on vacation and it's driving us crazy since we have a ton of things to get done before we move and the time frame is really running down. We have given notice on our house and need to be moved out by the end of January so it's only a matter...

Out with the old…kitchen VI

Well, it certainly doesn't look pretty but it's all out. The linoleum was much harder than I expected to get out. Not that it's particularly heavy but it was still stuck to the tape pretty well so you actually needed to do some pulling. There seem to be some old mold...

Out with the old…kitchen V

All the cabinets are finally out. We still need to move out the bases of a few of them but otherwise we are almost finished. The dishwasher was incredibly heavy. By far the worst item in there. Thankfully we moved a few cabinets, the little fridge, more cabinets, the...

Out with the old…kitchen IV

Ok, another 40 minutes have passed and we have managed to move out a large portion of the lower cabinets. We decided the best place to put them right now is in the future climbing room in the barn. We have the most available space there at the moment and although...

Out with the old…kitchen III

Here we are, 30 minutes later and minus the entire top row of cabinets from the right side. The corner cabinet gave us some trouble because the shevles didn't want to come out and then one of the screws in the top was stripped and we had to exert brute force but...

Out with the old…kitchen II

Well, in an hour and a half we've made quite a bit of progress. We've got all the junk out, the small shelves above the left side of the kitchen, the sink, the stove and are ready to cut up the counter from the left side so we can throw it out. Things are definitely...

Out with the old…kitchen

Today was a holiday in Germany so hubby had one last day to enjoy. What better to do than work on the farm? Time is starting to get away with us a bit and we realized over Christmas that we really want and need to take out the old kitchen so we can minimize the trash...
