Total Remodel
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 10:20 am
I've been lurking for a while here,, reading and learning about mobile homes. Thought I'd post up a few before and after pictures of out kitchen remodel.
Here's what we started with,,, kitchen is behind the wall
Half the cabinets out, tile removed,, wall almost down
Scraping off the popcorn,,, so much fun! BTW,, how about that wall paper/covering
We already have drywall everywhere,, it just needed to be screwed in, taped mudded and repaired
Center island is in,,, new lights and ceiling is all patched and ready to go!
Tiled the center island,,,, lots of drywall work to do still
Fast forward,,,, new cabinets in,, counters and backsplash are tiled, undercounter lights, Made a wine rack. Note I also made full extension pull out drawers for all of the lower cabinets. I scored some points with the wife on that one!
This was this past weekend. Sinks in, light rail installed, crown at ceiling installled, chair rail installed on center island and cabinets. It's pretty much done. The wife is happy!
This has taken us since Thanksgiving weekend to get this done (3 1/2 months). In our defense we only get the weekends to work on it. What's not seen is the new CPVC water supply I installed as I wanted to replace the polybutelene and a new water heater as well. I'll replaces the pipes in the baths when I do those later this year. It's a bit spliced together at the moment. Thank god for SharkBites!
The next project is to replace some rotted flooring and sill plate in the living room. Once that's done I can finish the drywall in the living space,, paint then put down the flooring. Then I get to go fishing for a while!!!
Will it ever be done????????
