Fourth day of remodeling.
Sheetrock is up! Not all of it but most of it!
This is the side wall and part of the back wall.
The rest of the back wall. If you click on the picture you can see where I drew the pipes for the water lines and the drain. I did that so we would not try to put any screws in them. We still have one small piece to put up behind that ladder.
When we took the sink out and removed the cabinets we found trouble. Rot!
The drain pipe had a split in it, we think it may have happened when we had the house leveled last year. Some of the floor had to be replaced and a bit of the bottom plate for the wall.
Thank goodness my sweetie is good at patching things.
We started on our kitchen remodel on Sunday. We got quite a bit done tho it doesn't really look like it. Both half walls came down and we rebuilt the beam that spans the opening to the dining room. We also took down our pantry but I didn't get a picture of that. We are trying to take everything apart without being too destructive. You never know when you will need that 6" long 2x4.
I don't know when or where we will use some of the wood that is coming out of this remodel but the beam we built is from recovered wood from the porch we took down 5 years ago.

Later this week we will start taking down cabinets and sheetrock and whatever tickles our fancy. Then we will be eating a lot of microwave dinners! I am really dreading not being able to create feasts for my honey. I will just have to get creative with the microwave and toaster oven.
My husband said I should blog about this recipe I whipped up tonight. He even took the pictures for me.
It's super quick and super easy.
I used one package of Pillsbury Crescent rolls. A little bit of pizza sauce, meatballs, black olives and mozzarella cheese.
Each little pizza uses 4 crescent rolls just pinch the perforations closed and roll up the edges a little to hold everything on the pizza. I like a lot of sauce and cheese but my hubby doesn't, he wanted more meatballs and olives.
Bake at 375 for about 13 minutes.
This weekend we ordered the cabinets for my new kitchen. We have a lot of work ahead of us. I have been dreaming about this for five years and can hardly believe it is actually going to happen! We ordered beautiful new hickory cabinets. I have so many decisions to make. What kind of sink, lighting, faucet, paint...
This is possibly the biggest, most expensive remodel we have ever done. But it will be worth it.
This is what I have.
excuse the mess
It's not much, but its mine!
I will be posting pictures along our remodel journey. So keep looking in on us while we work our fingers to the bone. I think I already need a back massage just thinking about all the hard work we have waiting for us.
We started this remodel of my Daddy's bathroom a year ago. Then he got sick and passed away.
We still have towel racks to hang and some trim work to do but it is quite a transformation.
Before
It was nice 40 years ago.
After
Sorry about the yellow tint.
I wish he could have seen it completed but he did get to see it in the works.
I made 2 of these Christmas aprons for my sister-in-laws. They both took about 30min. I saw something similar on Craftzine. I used a cup towel and wire ribbon, I removed the wire and sewed the ribbon to the towel. They loved it. Heck I love it!
