4/30/2005

 

 First day of work!  Joe ripped out the kitchen and Amy started building the kitchen cabinets. 
All the old cabinets we cut up and loaded into our two trucks and taken to the dump.  Long day of work.
5/1/2005 Continued putting together the cabinets and started installing cabinets and hooked up dish washer.
5/3/2005 Pool work gets started and with the pool being drained you can see how bad the plaster really was.

 Bathroom work gets started as the bathroom cabinet gets removed, new cabinet get put together and installed.  The mirror had to be removed from current location which was too low, the top cabinet drawer was too deep and hit the supply line so the drawer had to be shortened, and there were a couple of extra trips to Home Depot as the drain pipes were too short for the new sink.
5/8/2005 Work in kitchen and bathrooms is moving along but not as fast as we had hoped.  First picture shows the nearly completed bathroom from the 5/3 work pictures above.  The next two pictures are of the master bedroom going from the old to the new.  The final two pictures are of the progress in the kitchen.

More progress in kitchen and bathrooms.  The first two pictures are of the master bathroom with the new medicine cabinet and the new vinyl installed.  The next tow pictures show the progress on the kitchen.  This doesn't look like the same house.
