Kitchen Update 2
This weeks progress is not as noticeable as last weeks. We have been working on getting the finish on the cabinets.
The picture below is how I stored my appliances before
Here is their new home. It will be so nice to have them close at hand and not have to clean them before I can use them. WAHOO. Check out the pull out shelves, there will be 4 more of those on the other side of the kitchen (left of the picture), once we get that set of cabinets built (humm, I should say once Kirk gets them built). LOL.
I am also replacing the knobs and pulls will we are at it. Here are the old ones, which were on the doors and drawers.
The new drawer pulls, they are pink, I know it is hard to tell.
The doors will have a mixture of colors, the knobs here (not the pulls). I will use the pink, green, blue and some clear ones I got, perhaps a few of the black. I also plan on using the left over knobs to make a hanging system for my silk ribbons that I use for my Crazy quilting. When the knobs go in I will be sure to post.

Construction Inspector On Duty
Construction of the new kitchen cabinets began this morning and inspector Missy Mew was on duty. She was into every aspect of the install of the cabinets, pictures below.
Here Kirk is installing a pony wall (half wall) that will be the back of the cabinets and will hold the bar top.
I did not get a picture but inspector Mew, made sure the wall is straight and each of the holes for the plumbing (in the studs) are drilled all the way through.
Cabinet box is sat into position, inspector Mew checks that the shelf is secure, she later tests the shelf for sleep-ability.
This box will hold 4 new drawers (back view), inspector-inspecting!
Work is done for the day. We have (from left to right) new appliance cabinet (completely inspected by inspector Mew), pan cabinet, which will have pull outs on both shelves, temporary counter, space for stove, and drawer cabinet.
Front view of drawer cabinet.
Look of whole unit from front door, I love it, it is so nice and neat and beats the heck out of that table that was there (see last post). WAHOO!!
Thanks for stopping by, more to come, so come on back.

Kitchen Update
First, I want to apologize for the mess the kitchen is in, but frankly I am not going to get to cranked up about cleaning it right now, because tomorrow everything will be upside down. For tomorrow we begin the expansion of the kitchen. Secondly, we just finished dinner, so nothing is put away from that. Grin.
In the picture above you see the table I have been using as a counter top since we moved the dinning table from there and put it into the former livingroom (right). I am thankful for the table but as you can see in this and the following picture it has just become a huge mess. The stove that you see here will be moved over to the table location and replaced with a dishwasher.
The table that the crock pot is on will be moved out and cabinets will replace it.
In this picture you see the other side of the table with the old microwave on it, the other one broke and this is where the old working one landed, in the last picture above the stove is the broken "new'' microwave, we will be placing the old working one there tomorrow. Back to the table, this will become a cook center with stove and cabinets and new hood.
The appliances on the cart used to be in the pantry and never used until the dinning table was moved and there became room in the kitchen, now there will be a cabinet to hide them all in in that space. Behind the cart is a heater that keeps the house warm when we are out of town, it will be moved to a new location.
So stay tuned, updates will be coming of the transformation, which will come over the next several months as we get the money to move ahead. Tomorrow the work begins.
