( 2.8 / 53 )Almost finished....the cabinet doors were added all this week along with some minor fixes. Also added molding around the garage door and kitchen window. Looks GREAT! Nothing like real oak wood. Here some more photos.
There are the doors to make with the metal inserts. The project for this coming week.

( 2.8 / 45 )This is the beginning of the kitchen remodel that is well overdue. There will be many changes but the footprint of the kitchen will be the same. Here you can watch day by day. Read the description of each photo to find out how things are going along. Some idea's are: track lighting, new cabinet, roll out draws, above the stove microwave, new acrylic sink, 3/4 inch real oak floors, new window sill,home made face front doors, newly painted cabinets/walls, remove the soffits above the cabinets. Butcher block on part of the countertop with an under counter refrige. We will not be putting back the large refrige.

( 3 / 25 )Here are some more current photos. We are coming to an end and I should be finished this weekend. The rest of the doors are getting painted during then week after work and some molding still needs to be stained and installed. Overall, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. In about a week I will give a photo tour on this website.
Did some house cleaning this weekend to get the dust off of everything in the upper level of the house. Loaded up the pickup truck with all the junk ripped out. Garbage drop off is this weekend and is perfect timing.
The whole house is coming back together instead of stuff laying all around. Really wish I had a wood workshop.
Here are some photos:

( 3 / 25 )The last three days have been a rush to paint. I would like to be done mostly next weekend. There are still a lot of minor things. I tried using the paint sprayer in the garage and I didn't like the way the cabinet doors were coming out. So much that I got a little bit in a bad mood yesterday. So I moved the painting booth into the dining area of the kitchen. Less dust and not if I can keep the cats out of the room, I won't have cat hair in the paint too. So, I have decided to REMAKE the cabinet doors out of real OAK wood sometime this fall or next winter. The painted doors are just not coming out to my liking but we will have to live with it for a while. The pictures below show what they look like hung up. I will have to take these down and remove the hardware to repaint them because I'm not satisfied with the way they look with the current paint job. Will have to sand them down and repaint them. Made the other windowsill from oak for the window in the dining area today. There's a lot of down time with painting because of waiting for the paint to dry. Here a re some updated photos:
This is what the molding looks like. This will eventually be around the whole upstairs along with the wood floors next winter.
