January/Kitchen

January was a blur of construction zone and constant snow. Here is a random set of pictures displaying these events and the progress of the kitchen remodel.

This seems like a place that must still exist somewhere in the world because it is so drastically different from what it looks like today. 

Snowshoeing the trail with Sarah

Wall going down

Kitchen out = mouse poop and box elder corpses to the millionth degree!

Billy plowed his head off

I sanded the beam. It was much harder than you might anticipate!

Moved the stove to the corner

Closets framed in

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Cooking on a campstove

Where the stove used to go up to the top of the house

Snowshoe race

Closets walled in, walls painted, subfloor going in

New window

Beam replaced and stained, lighting done, painting done

Closets done, floor going in

Floor done

Countertops poured

Some cabinets in, countertops curing

And all the while it snowed and snowed and snowed

Today the kitchen looks like this. We still have to do the countertops (which so far have turned out but need to be sealed), the bar (that unfinished wall you see is the back of the island), the backsplash and all those millions of little things that seem little but will take forever (trim and the likes). And landscaping is already starting up so you probably won't see the finished product until May!
