After our misadventure in covering the old entry-way door, we spent last Friday assembling the remainder of the cabinetry. We also began prepping things for future painting: covering old holes with plaster and attempting to restore some of the house’s original hardware. Sara deserves a shout-out for her willingness to scrub the kitchen floors in an attempt to restore the wood to its original color, parts of which were black with dust and debris.
We got a lot of feedback when we announced we were knocking down a wall, which was mostly concern that we were going to destroy a load bearing wall. We took your advice and, on Friday, hired a contractor, who offered us an unbeatable deal to demolish the wall between the kitchen and living room.
We found two brothers Victor and Jose. Victor is a granite counter top specialist and Jose is a contractor. Jose started on Saturday morning and I must say he is amazing. Victor is looking into getting us an incredible deal on new counter tops. If you ever plan to do renovations on your home we would certainly recommend these guys.
The projects should be done by the end of the week. So now we are playing the waiting game. We can’t move forward on any projects until Jose finishes the wall. For the time being we are gathering supplies and ordering furniture which should arrive soon after the construction.

I understand that you boys are getting demands for pictures on the front on the house, but don't forget the backside, also. I am sure that you are proably waiting for some sunshine before the outsid photo shoot --- but you fans 'need' to see and know what is going on .... in that fancy new home of yours!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the next round of pictures..
