A New Kitchen Cont.

Another weekend gone by and we are that much closer to having our kitchen completely finished. This weekend was slammed with activity, though not as crazy as last weekend. Thank God. But, here's the list:

Finished electrical
Finished fabricating and installing drawers
installed range hood
slapped on first and second coat of drywall
knock-down ceiling (still needs to be painted)
installed upper cabinets
installed utility cabinets in laundry room
installed temporary bar top (waiting on granite to come today)

Now that all of that is finished all that is really left is to sand and paint the walls, install the granite bar top, fix some odds and ends, put the face plates back on all the switches and outlets and pour the concrete counter tops. The concrete we'll pour in a couple of weeks once the holiday is over. Then we need to find some new tile for the floor and walls. And then our "small kitchen remodel" will be complete. Since we got the cabinets and the granite for free the whole job has cost us around $500 so far. The counters will end up costing perhaps another $300, and about the same for the tile. So, once complete the entire kitchen will have cost a total of approximately $1100. And it will add somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to the value of our house. But what I'm really excited about is to actually have space to cook in my kitchen! Ugh! It's so wonderful!
Alexa misplaced our camera, so you'll have to wait for pictures later tonight.

Ciao.
