The Great Project of '07 that has run into '08

O.K. so the Kitchen in our 1950's Craftsman home has seen its fair share of semi updates, but we thought it was time for a complete overhaul. The old oven actually spit a ball of fire at the repair man. We unplugged it. It has needed a good remodle  for a  while but the straw broke when the dishwasher completely died. We are not sure who put the dishwasher in but since there was two layers of particle board and linoleum put down on the floors. Raising the height of the floor and making it impossible to remove the dishwasher with out taking out the floor or the counters. We decided to do both. Ripping out the cabinets was fun but poor Aaron spent 2 days taking out all the layers of flooring. Well we redid the floors and the walls made the doorway twice as big and made a passthrough. The cabinets are in and best of all the sink is working (hurray! Try living a month with out a kitchen sink and you will know what I mean.) We also have a new dishwasher and an oven that works. I am not a great designer but I think it is looking pretty good. As soon as the windows get trimmed (this week hopefully) I will take some new pictures and get them posted. So far I am happy with all the hard work.
