Kitchen Remodel ~ Step 3, 4 & 5 etc.

Last we left off in the kitchen remodel saga was the fact that we had the top cabinets off the walls and had the façade ceiling torn down. We have progressed through the remodel steps to three, four, and five etc.

Step three was to put up new sheetrock, mud, tape, texture, and paint. This is the phase of work in construction and remodels that I have grown to enjoy the least as it just takes so darn long to get everything looking good.

Step four was to refurbish the window and the window trim, to include new screen in the window screen frame.

Step five was to take out all the base cabinets so we could install new subfloor sheeting. This left us without a kitchen sink for 10 days. Woof! Glad that’s over.

Step six was to install the new cabinetry, crown molding, and put the appliances in place again. This would include the kitchen sink, and I guess all the plumbing work that had to be completed could be its own step but you get the picture on the amount of work we have put into this project.

So as it stands now the kitchen is usable and functioning, but not completed. The countertops are still a week out (maybe less if the remodel fairies are looking out of us) and the flooring is not installed. But the Sureply floor will do for now and we have made temporary countertops so cooking supper again is not so much of a chore as it has been the last three weeks.

Up next will be installing the flooring, installing the wine rack above the refrigerator, and planning out the tiles that will be part of the backslash and walls. Oh and the rest of the cabinet handles and pulls.

Until our next remodel update, keep sweeping the floors, as that always helps.
