We are back from traveling for the holidays, we have had a chance to settle back into our Reno lives so now its time to mix things up again. What started as a desire for a dishwasher has become a full blown kitchen remodel. New floors, new cabinets, a new layout, new light fixtures, new ceiling fan, and best yet new stainless steel appliances. With a target budget of $5,000 let's see how far we can make it. A couple things are working in our favor in that direction, the manufacturer's are offering awesome rebates on appliances and the Lowe's by our house is closing and for the last week everything has been 50% off.
First here are some pictures of what we had to work with initially.
Saturdays Adam works but I wanted to hit this thing head on, so today Will and Chris came over to lend a brotherly hand. A craigslister came to take the base cabinets and was able to remove them pretty lickety split. In less than an hour he was in and out. Then we got to get down to the dirty work! Ripping up the indoor/outdoor carpet and tearing up the particle board floor that covers the mysteries underneath.
The brothers did the hard work and I got to sweep up after. Next up, refinishing the hardwood floors and then moving the plumbing for the sink (dunh dunh dunh).
