THE NEW KITCHEN FLOOR

So, on 12/29, Aaron moved us completely out of the kitchen and laundry room. And, by 1/9/10, we were ready to move back in. He pulled up the old sub-floor and tile and demo'd the bar b/t the kitchen and the dining room.

In 1.5 weeks.....hhen he put in new sub-floor and tile, grouted and sealed the tiles.....and also added sheetrock to several areas of walls, sanded and mudded the walls, painted the ceiling, painted the laundry room, added new new thresholds, added baseboard to the laundry room. He even built a temporary cabinet to go to the left of the stove. There are so many steps involved, it's crazy.

It is so nice to have the fridge in the kitchen, rather than the dining room! And to have a new floor! Happy New Year to me.

Now we're ready for laundry room doors, new door thresholds, new cabinets, new countertops, new wall paint and new windows. He can do this in stages.....while keeping the kitchen functional. Brilliant. We can't decide whether or not to put in a new bar (shorter, with legs rather than a solid base). It sure is nice having such a big opening into the dining room.
