Ok, the carpentry work is about 1/3 of the way done. Today's pictures are going to be a bit of bead board overload (it kinda reminds me of old school wood paneling right now), but I think it's going to look awesome once everything is painted.
Today's work consisted of:
- Taking down the old microwave
- Installing the back splash
- Building some cabinet doors
- Building drawers (including the trash drawer)
- Working on the open shelving feature you see in between the windows
So the cabinet in between our windows looks completely different, huh? I promise the old laminate cabinet is still underneath there too. You'll see a similar concept above the oven eventually.
I really like our new doors. They are really nice quality. Do you see the pantry door in the picture above? So much better than our last pantry door.
Our carpenter even built us some new shelves in this cabinet. It was a nice surprise. And do you see the trim around the top of our cabinets? We didn't have any trim before.
We still have about 10 more hours of carpentry work. Then comes granite, painting, plumbing, installing new light fixtures, and fixing our loose tiles. Whew! I get tired just thinking of everything that still needs to be done. And I'm not even the one doing the work! I think it's going to be worth it though. Heck, just having a sink again will make it all worth it.
