Electric, Water, Drywall & Paint

First Pat removed the drywall that the tiles had been on and the drywall behind the sink.

Oooh, look you can see light through the exterior wall behind the sink.

Then the electrican came and set up the wiring for the dishwasher, disposal, microwave over the stove and added a new outlet. Afterwhich, the plumber moved the gas line for the range and cut off the piping under the sink for easy cabinet installation.

Next we insulated that exterior wall. That actually isn't a bad way to spend a Friday evening.

Then Pat and Marc put up new drywall and mudded it.

and sanded it.

Then Pat stepped on something really sharp....

or maybe it was just the lid to a paint can
as we painted the new wall the same red as the rest of the kitchen.

Maybe when I put together a "sexy house repair" calendar to sell in order to raise money for the next house project, the picture above can be August- ha!

and then......drumroll.......

the base cabinets could arrive! Look at that Super Susan- rather than climbing halfway into the corner to find that dish to put lunch in for work, boom, just spin and find. These show the interior of the cabinets, so that's not the stain color that will show on the outside.

We're going to keep the butcher block as part of the counter.

When you push the drawers in, they won't slam.

The triangle on the end helps add storage without blocking the door.
