What a mess! We've ripped out all of the cabinets and
pulled up some of the linoleum flooring. I scraped most
of the texturing off of the ceiling -- that's where all the
sheetrock dust came from. Guess what was under a layer of
linoleum and plywood -- hardwood floors! Too much water
damage to salvage it, though.

Here it is cleaned up a little.

Who's your favorite little home renovator?!?!?

Kitchen pipes, before the renovation.
|

Water-damaged floor where the previous owner had their washing
machine. Jan cut that out and patched it.
|

This is what it looked like behind the cabinets. Can you
believe it used to be that blue? Looks like there were
just shelves before there were cabinets.

There's Perry, showing me how to install cabinets.
In any home improvement project, it's a good idea
to have a perfectionist assisting.

Look! All the cabinets are in place! And note the
shiny new plywood subfloor. It's level now, too.
|

I put the cabinet doors on all by myself! And the
electrician has installed new outlets and recessed
lighting. Imagine having more than one outlet in
the kitchen! I feel so modern.
