Re: Kitchen Reno
From what I can see, very nice work. I shudder when I see a Kitchen - with a CIA (Culinary Institute) chef at home, kitchens cost a ton. My last one was $60-70K. Ugh, but nice stuff.

Re: Kitchen Reno
I gutted our main bathroom. New tile going in soon, our business was priority this summer but moving into a time where I can start paying more attention inside.
At least your kitchen is ready for the busy time of year with holidays around the corner, you’ll be able to proudly display all that awesome work!

Re: Kitchen Reno
Thanks a lot, you're right Andy kitchens cost a ton. I like to remodel as a hobby and we kept the price tag down for this. My wife is a wannabe chef and I'll give her credit she is pretty good for having it as a hobby and our kitchen was outdated. With our cabinets, we completely stripped the old ones down. I applied six coats of stain, and three coats of poly. By utilizing our old cabinets and some elbow grease, that saved us a ton. The cabinet staining took roughly three weeks. I was taking a lot of half days off work to keep things on schedule. My wife wanted one of those apron sinks and that was a bear to get in due to having to notch some of the base cab out. Then came all of the new plumbing to accommodate that. We extended the existing island 2' as we had he room. I purchased a 24" base cab from Lowe's and just modified it to build in a microwave and added a cubby area underneath. Having that extra island space is awesome. The only thing I didn't do was the countertop install. As with any reno, living in the 'construction zone' stinks while it's underway, but extremely rewarding when it's finished.

Re: Kitchen Reno
What an amazing make over. Remodeling is the best in the kitchen.
We recently remodeled a small kitchen in a small condo (yes, small on top of small). Here's a pic.
Here is the after picture from the other side.
It scares me to have an electrical outlet so close to the sink, but we needed something. We no longer install duplex outlets and now use quads in the kitchen and bathrooms. As you can see next to the coffee maker, we have two quads and one of the quads has quad USB outlets for recharging phones and tablets.
And then Hurricane Harvey hit us directly (coastal Rockport, TX). Our unit was boarded up and came through completely intact; however, the condos on all sides were smashed. Due to secondary water damage, leaking in from everywhere, our structure was totaled by the insurance company. We took out all the furniture, appliances, light fixtures, toilets, and kitchen sink prior to mold setting in and insurance demolition. We'll be back and get to remodel all over again. At least we don't have to go shopping for all the stuff again.

Re: Kitchen Reno
DIY guy here, just like the lawn.
That new look is WAY better.
I'm working on finishing a cabin interior and sound treated 10 sear home theater in my basement.
I love plumbing, electrical, design, framing, tile, sound treatment. I really dislike finishing work like drywall and trim

Re: Kitchen Reno
Thanks!
This winter I'll probably take on the master bath. Drywall is much like the lawn IMO, you have to have patience for it. It truly is an art

Re: Kitchen Reno
Looks great guys. Wish I had the patience to do things like that, but I just don't have it in me. Minor electrical work is about as far as I can go... I can paint too.

Re: Kitchen Reno
I'm glad I have a step brother that can do that stuff. If I tried doing that myself I'd probably suffer some horrific injury. Lots of credit to you all for doing such great work! I haven't quite gotten up the confidence for that type of work just yet. Just small projects here or there.

Re: Kitchen Reno
I have to give a tip of the cap to You Tube. That’s really where I’ve learned about tiling, etc. Sure I’m doing the work, but it’s nice being able to see the technique and then try to apply.
