			<description><![CDATA[<b>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&#039;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.</b>]]></description>

			<title>Coming to an end</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080407-065931</link>
			<description><![CDATA[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.<br /><br />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.<br />The whole house is coming back together instead of stuff laying all around. Really wish I had a wood workshop.<br /><br />Here are some photos:<br /><br /><img src="images/DSC01578.JPG" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/DSC01579.JPG" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/DSC01581.JPG" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/DSC01590.JPG" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br />]]></description>

			<title>Day 74,74,75 - Paint, Paint, molding</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080405-222531</link>
			<description><![CDATA[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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s a lot of down time with painting because of waiting for the paint to dry. Here a re some updated photos:<br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01566.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01565.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br />This is what the molding looks like. This will eventually be around the whole upstairs along with the wood floors next winter.<br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01570.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>

			<title>Day 72,73 - Installed homemade drawers/stain</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080402-222720</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Installed the drawers I made last week. They came out great. I wouldn&#039;t call it quality work but they will suffice. The sliders I got for them (bought on the internet) are very strong. They can hold 100 pounds. They installed a lot faster than I thought. Good thing because this weekend is touch up paint and installed oak molding. Really getting down to the wire. Painting the cabinet doors is on the agenda for this weekend too but we need to clean house because we are getting company staying over for two weeks and there coming from Britain. Here&#039;s a picture of todays work. The larger drawers are for pots and pans. Donna is already decorating with carpets.<br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01562.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>

			<title>Day 69-71 - Wood floor is done!!</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080331-222832</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ So I alloted a whole weekend (three days) for installing the floor and that&#039;s how long it took. The wood floor will be expanded into the rest of the first floor this coming fall but for now it will be in the kitchen only. LOOKS GREAT!! Donna&#039;s favorite part she says. I guess it beats the diamond shape tiles over the butcher block.<br /><br />So I&#039;m planning on two more weekends which includes working on the weekdays in between. There&#039;s just a lot of little things to be done. Istalling painted homemade doors and installing the lower slide out drawers for pots and pans and the pantry. <br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01561.jpg" width="480" height="321" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01560.jpg" width="321" height="480" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>

			<title>Day 68 - Wood floor install</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080328-222948</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ So I started intalling the floor today and it seems to be going slow because I&#039;ve never done this type of work before. I&#039;ve made a few mistakes that is nothing that is fixable or already fixed but the most time consuming thing was starting the first row and making sure it is straight After that, cutting wood for the end pieces against the wall takes time as well as making sure each and every board is snug against each other.<br /><br />So far everything looks great. Just wish I had it done already. Going on 3 months now. Time to start the garden and this project is running into others now. Just keep plugging away everyday till it&#039;s done. I am now looking at maybe somewhere around 2 weeks left. After the floor, there are not BIG things to do. Just touch up, staining, little bit of paint, and molding. Nearing the end. <br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01554.jpg" width="335" height="500" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>

			<title>Day 67 - Flooring preparation</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080327-223041</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Moving along quickly now. I&#039;d like t get everything done in two weeks. Today was the start of laying the new flooring. I&#039;ve got a whole day to get it done tomorrow and wanted to get everything prepared by Friday. I met that goal. Hopefully it won&#039;t take the whole weekend to get the floor down. This is something I&#039;ve never done but have asked a lot of people for advice and checked the internet on how to. So I know what the pitfalls could be and hopefully I can avoid them. Here&#039;s some pics from today. New paint and a somewhat of a dry fit of the floor. By the way, this is real 3/4 inch prefinished wood and not the cheap Pergo stuff.<br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01548.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01550.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01551.jpg" width="335" height="500" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>

			<title>Day 65,66 - Chop up tile/Paint</title>
			<link>http://www.photofi.com/kitchenremodel/index.php?entry=entry080326-223227</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Getting ready for wood floors today. Want to get it installed this weekend. So preparing ahead of time will help. Also it&#039;s a better to paint the walls not to worry about getting it on the new floors. Tile came up easy with a hammer and you can see the 1970&#039;s floor underneath. It&#039;s matched the color scheme now. Donna thinks the 1970&#039;s floor is really ugly. The paint color is an off white which does not show up that well in the photo.<br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01538.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="images/dsc01543.jpg" width="500" height="335" border="0" alt="" />]]></description>
