Remodel- day 3


Today was day three on the remodel of Mom & Dads Kitchen. Dave Weenig, who is the cabnet installer who installed our cabnets came up from Utah and helped today. Actually he came yesterday and put the vanity in Shandas bathroom and then we paid him to help us in Aberdeen.
Here are the boys at work in the garage. And Yes... Mom and Dad were in the middle of everything! I kept suggesting that they go visit Elaina for the weekend but they wouldn't hear of it. They wanted to help, but you have to remember what a small kitchen it is so there were a few too many bodies!
Mom & Dad are very appreciative and very excited so it really is very fun, even if I am completely exhausted! You can see from the next picture that I am still trying to get off that horrible wallpaper. My hands were cramping up and my shoulders and neck are killing me.
This is the refridgerator wall so far. They will now have cabnets where there weren't any before.
Here is how it looked when we finished today. Not to bad for a days work is it. The spaces are for the dishwasher and the stove. I am so excited! It really is a great improvement. And the doors and drawers all work! Now if I can just convince Mom to eliminate about half of her junk before she tries to fit it all back in the cupboards. She has so many weird, unmatched, unused dishes and trinkets. I'm hoping for a chance when I can secretly make alot of it disappear!

Wow, Mom and Dad will be so happy when this remodel is completed. Since you are on such a role, how about visiting us in Boise? Thanks for all your hard work -- even though the rest of us siblings are looking pretty bad right now. :)

Wow! Way to go - it's looking so good! It cracks me up to read about Grandma and Grandpa being in the middle of everything because I can totally picture it!

Oh, wow, it's looking so good! That's going to be a totally different house by the time you're done with it! Can't wait to see how it all comes out!

P.S. I love that second photo of Dad. Nice lighting.
