Days 22-27: Kitchen remodel

Painting is done, minus some touch-ups, I'd imagine, when everything wraps up.


Wiley is happy to be able to walk around in his kitchen again. And the floor, even after sweeping, is filthy.



Refinished fir on the left. Raw 100-year-old fir on the right. Guess where the original cabinets were? Funny thing is, when we bought the place three-plus years ago and had the linoleum ripped out, the entire floor looked worse than the section on the right.


And this is where one of the floor registers had to be moved to accommodate the new cabinets. Those new inlays will be stained to look similar to the existing stuff.

Cabinet installation starts tomorrow morning! Preliminary countertop work should begin Thursday.
