Kitchen Renovation Project: Day Eight Installation Continues

http://www.andrewseltz.com

My New York City apartment is getting a badly needed kitchen renovation. I've torn out the old cabinets and appliances and will be replacing them with cabinets, counters, refrigerator and a sink from Ikea along with a new stove, microwave range hood, and a dishwasher from Sears. Installation continues on the cabinets and counters - a process that seems to take forever...

This wave of the project is focused on the basics and the electrical work. Later I want to dress things up with a tile backsplash, a new floor, and some under-cabinet task lighting.

The delivery truck showed up just a few minutes after 8am today and dropped off the appliances. I got up a little after 6am to finish up my work of caulking cracks and priming the plaster work. When the delivery arrived, I was ready.

Slowly but surely the kitchen is taking shape. I'm very sore and tired now and that makes the detailed work of installing the cabinets even slower. But, every task completed makes a big impact on the finished product.

You will get to see the end... I promise!

On day 5 we had a major family crisis which has massively disrupted our life and reduced me to sporadic progress on the kitchen (and even more sporadic posting of videos.)

I've got all of the cabinets in and the sink and dishwasher hooked up now. So it's time for another update or two.
