Kitchen update

All Posts, Kitchen, Tennessee House

I’ve been working nonstop for like 2 weeks and it’s just barely starting to feel like I’m getting somewhere.  There is lots of back work to do before things start coming together.  The air return got moved to the hallway — yeah!

relocated air return

 

We removed a vent on the other side of the room where the return went in so replaced the old return with a vent so I had a lot of floor patching to do covering the removed vent…

…and filling in where the old return was.  Remember it was in a big bookcase.  There was no flooring all around that area so I had to fill it in.

Then I had to patch some more floor where the vent had to be moved over where the window is being replaced by a door and to create a logical transition to where I framed in the new kitchen entrance doorway .

And this is the current state of the kitchen.

And I have jury duty next week so we’ll see how quickly that comes together.   I guess there’s never a convenient time to have jury duty but this is REALLY not a great time but what R ya’ gonna’ do?  This is a perfect example of “life getting in the way” but it’ll all get done.  Sooner or later.

    Way to go. I do not think I could be two weeks with no kitchen this time of year. You are such an inspiration.

    I’m guessing you don’t “get” to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. See, there are always blessings!

    I just finished jury duty (Federal) in Oct.
    It was for me a welcome break from work, but then I was not building a kitchen. I was odd man out as I did not mind being there. I miss having everyone ” all rise for the jury”.
    It was an honor to serve.

    I love seeing your projects come together. What is the plan for the kitchen floor? Are we leaving it tile or bringing the wood in.

    what will the kitchen cabinets be made of? If other than solid wood what type of paint do you recommend for the most durable finish?
    Happy thanksgiving 🙂
