Kitchen Update #7

Drywall, mud and sanding is done. Painting will start on Friday and the new flooring should be installed next week. I think we will be ready for the cabinets on 7/22.

Kitchen Update #6

Feels like we are on the home stretch now that the drywall is up. Hopefully it will be ready for painting next weekend.

Kitchen Update #5

Ready for drywall today! The South Wall where the sink will go. The plumbing is fixed. No more goofy uncapped drains.

West Wall without Insulation...

West Wall with Insulation.

We added the insulation for a sound blocking between the bathroom and the kitchen.

Nerds!

Kitchen Update #4

Can lighting is installed. We are trying out three different LED lights. We are going with the Sylvania LED light, its the one near the corner of the room. All of the yellow romex wiring is new, more power outlets for the countertop work area and the wiring is ready for the under cabinet LED light strips.

Today's nightmare, plumbing. The lower drain was cracked so I'm going to remove all of the items in the green box and just have a single drain.

Kitchen Update #3

Removed most of the drywall to prep for complete redo of the electrical wiring. Adding USB outlets, GFI protection, Dishwasher outlet and ISE outlet, under cabinet lighting, Can Lighting in the ceiling! Lighting was always a problem in the kitchen but not any longer!

New drywall should be installed on 7/3/15.

New Subfloor is ready thanks to my big brother Mike Nikolaisen! We completed this in a few hours on 6/25/15. All new 3/8 plywood subfloor. It's solid, no creaking floor noise like we had. :)

The new Pergo floor should be installed on the week of 7/13.
