For the past two and half months we have been remodeling our kitchen. When i say remodeling, i mean completely tearing out everything. We were down to the studs. We put new sheet rock on all the walls and the ceiling. We knocked out a wall to make the kitchen bigger and more open. We completely moved everything around. The sink, fridge, oven, and dishwasher are all in a new spot. We had ugly paneling on the walls and tore it all off. The back wall was just cinder block so we built a wall there and added new sheet rock. We got new/old cabinets, meaning that they have been used but are new to us. My uncle Dean actually built them. They have been in there house for like twenty some odd years. They are redoing there kitchen and gave us their old cabinets. We appreciate it sooo much! They are so beautiful and are in such great shape. They look brand new. We also painted and added a back splash. We put in black granite tile for the counter tops, and new tile on the floor. We also put in canned lights. All our appliances are nice and in great shape except our fridge. So i found a used one off ksl for a really good deal. It has been a ton of work and very stressful, but also a lot of fun. Jake did all the work himself. I helped as much as i could. Our friend Cory helped us knock out the wall, and Eric our brother-in-law helped with the sheet rock. We greatly appreciate it! Jake is such a hard worker. He is working and going to school full time. While he wasn't doing that he was working in the kitchen. We had many, many late nights working in there just trying to get it done. Jake impressed me soooo much! He has never done any of this before. He is an electrician so he is used to the construction stuff, but he has never built or anything. We do watch a lot of remodeling shows so that is where he learned a lot of it. He is just a good handy man. He is so amazing! I am so grateful for all his hard work and all he does for me. He is the best husband anyone could ask for. I love you babe! Anyway we still have a lot of detail work to do, but its all functional now and my living room is clean and junk free. So we are happy about that. We can finally live. Here is a slide show of our huge project.
