Day 189

Merry Christmas in March

Remember back on the 20th of January when the Parents started on their Kitchen Makeover?  Well, it's finished.  My mother finally got her Christmas gift...and then some. 

Day 161

Backdoor

#3 in the series of my parents renovation.  This view is from the living room looking toward the back door.  Remember Day 104?  Same view, different railing (and angle).

Day 140

An (almost) blank canvas

Remember when I said that I'd document my parent's renovation? Well, this is the second photo in that series. Demo is done and the electrician has been here, so it's almost time to dry wall. If you have been to my parent's house you can tell how drastic this transformation is going to be. In this photo I'm standing in the kitchen where the sink used to be, click here for a photo coming from the opposite direction.

I'll come back in a few weeks and update. This "kitchen" is going to be gorgeous!

Day 130

The Linoleum that will Never Die

This Christmas my Dad gave my Mom the gift she's always wanted...her "Dream Kitchen." Well yesterday was demo day and when they pulled up the kitchen floor, this is what appeared. It's the hideous linoleum of my childhood. They spent all day yesterday trying to pry it up from the floor boards and some of it just wouldn't budge. Better luck next time boys. :-)

This should be a fun project to document. I'll keep you informed.
