I haven’t posted house progress in quite a while. Things have been slow but thanks to paternity leave Ryan has some more time and he’s started with finishing up trim in the playroom and the kitchen windows to start. This progress was just the last 2 days, prior to that was just recovery time from …
After a much deserved (and needed) break from house work we made a little progress this weekend (and by we I mean 95% ryan). I came home on Sunday to most of the upper cabinets back off the wall! He had been wanting to shift the stove vent over about 1/8 to give it space …
It took 2 months which actually is quite good considering how large this kitchen is AND considering Ryan was in horrible back pain a lot of that – but the kitchen is back to useable shape. Not ‘done’ but done enough we could enjoy it for the holidays!!! The counters came a week before xmas …
2 weekends ago we focused on getting the double ovens installed and the hood and upper cabinets. The first project was cutting the oven cabinet opening to the right size. Then installing the brackets and wiring the ovens to the wall box. The ovens didn’t get lifted in and set until Sunday when we had …
We’ve had a very busy few days and the kitchen progress shows it! Thursday night Ryan and I stayed up late sanding both the kitchen and diningroom. Friday night we vacuumed the ceilings/walls then started priming – getting the ceilings primed and 1 wall. Saturday morning Ryan and his dad started with a ceiling paint …
The kitchen progress continues even on a ‘holiday weekend’. Ryan and his dad finished hanging the sheetrock in the diningroom on Saturday! I got the kitchen taped and some more spackling done on both Saturday and Sunday. Dad surprised us and came over today to help continue the spackling – which makes our goal of …
Well it was a very long week for Ryan – and a long weekend for me as I took Friday off to do electrical which of course took time on the weekend too as we did it in phases. First we moved the ‘kitchen’ out to our hallway (luckily we have a very large hallway) …
We’ve had a busy month getting prepped for our kitchen renovation and hopefully it goes smoothly. This week Ryan took the week off and he and his dad are go-go-going with all the prep work. First a recap of progress. Dad came out and taped/spackled my office -the large room. In the mean time Ryan …
Work continues, we’ve had a few good weekends. Dad came over one weekend and helped Ryan hang all the sheetrock in the office. That room is cleaned up and empty now. The playroom is also cleaned up , ramboard put down and Ryan has been taping a little each night – getting all the seams …
Well we pushed off sheetrocking another weekend (per my dad’s request) and since we had enough flooring (we noticed after we moved it and organized it) AND the playroom emptied out – Ryan decided to lay the flooring in the playroom this weekend! It looks awesome – same cherry as upstairs. I’m so excited – …
