@madmonday:

glad things are coming along well clint & is there a projected date for it to all be completed? i think i would go crazy if i wasn't around when things are happening, you a better dude than me.

Honestly, I'd be thrilled if everything is done before the new year.  I'm trying to not put any pressure on my general contractor as far as a timeline goes because I'm willing to wait for him to work his magic.  It's so hard being away while all the exciting stuff is happening but I'll be sure to keep you guys posted!

Thanks for all the comments!  The reclaimed wood is my favorite design features of the house so far!

Well, after 6 months of planning, waiting construction, hassle, more waiting, more hassle, take-out, no plumbing, construction, and more take-out, we finally have a new kitchen! (We also re-shingled our roof)

Here are some pics of all of that!

We thought we were keeping the old cabinets when we started the project so we installed undercab lighting. It ultimately had to removed and reinstalled in the new cabinets.



Our temporary kitchen while we waited for the new cabinets to be delivered. This took about 4 weeks.

New patio door. The old one was rotting away.

New cabinets

My contractor wanted $2K plus materials to tile the backsplash. No thanks. I'll do it myself. So I did

Uh oh! Rotted out skylight above the kitchen!

The Browns have a fine eye for detail and quality, and it all looks great.

I don't know, seems like they could have found a better place to store the cat.

Well, it's been a busy (and expensive) week but we've gotten a lot done.  We're getting both bathrooms tiled and the paint crew is wrapping up today:

Seawolf & Clint_D, wow! Amazing renovations! That's some pretty hardcore and sweet changes. Great job guys. 

Here are some videos of the renovations I did for the basement and a tour of the home theater. (The second video was from the Web Show I was working on called Media Gear)

[ohighyo]

ClintD and Seawolf your houses are really coming along. Really  Like the black white  tile in the shower

[seawolf]

Thanks for the comments everyone! Also, Jepanic, that's quite the setup! Wow! Did I hear you say "Laserdisc?!"

[Jepanic]

Seawolf, yes, I did say Laserdisc! We have probably 20 movies on Laserdisc.

Just moved house, and things are looking a little bare right now!

Throw in a couple of beers and you're fine!..

[Giles]

Just a tad minimalist…

[Megatron1505]

As a parent of a young chaos bringer I envy the space and lack of clutter.

[Snowy]

I'd leave it as is if I had the choice, maybe 1 small table.

@Megatron1505:

Yes.  This is absolutely true.  I'd want to sub in an Eames lounge chair and ottoman, but otherwise it's pretty perfect.

[Graeme]

I have clutter. It's just not migrated from the garage to the living room yet.

Chris, the Eames Lounger is nice, but I find them a touch small, even in the upsized version.

[Chris]

I confess, Graeme, my desire for the Eames is based only on appearance, not actual experience sitting in one.  And your garage looks far less cluttered than mine, so my envy is still intact.

[Megatron1505]

Bah! That is a feeble amount of cutter Graeme, I wish my attic was as tidy as your garage.
