My Kitchen Upgrade Project
Friday, March 28th, 2008 by FuzzOver the last week or so, I’ve been tackling my kitchen upgrade project. I feel like I could be on “Flip This House.” So far, it’s been going quite swimmingly. I’ll post some pictures later this weekend.
Last week - Replaced cabinet hardware.
Monday - Installed countertop, range hood, new sink, new faucet, and removed tile backsplash.
Tuesday - (had school) Removed old adhesive from backsplash and prepped surface.
Wednesday - Installed travertine tile backsplash.
Thursday - Grouted backsplash.
My plans for the weekend -
Today - Remove trim, pocket doors, and (ick) the carpet from the kitchen. Install cement backerboard. Then I have an appearance at the Mineshaft from 10p - ?.
Tomorrow - After appearance at Keith’s Marina in the WB between 11a and 1p - Install tile.
Sunday - Rest.
Next week -
Grout. Seal and caulk backsplash. Install GFCI outlet, new regular outlets and switches, and my fancy new brushed-nickel outlet covers. Seal floor grout. Paint. Install new window treatments.
Special thanks to Phil and Tracy for their help! And thanks to Claude and OOS for their sage advice. I didn’t imagine that this project would be this easy and relatively inexpensive. It’s pretty fun watching my house transform from a 1960’s carpeted-kitchen nightmare into something that I’m actually proud to live in.
Phil Can Have My Babies
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 by FuzzI need to say “Thank you!” to my neighbor, Phil, whom I railroaded into coming over to my house last night to help me install a new kitchen sink, counter top, and range hood. Everything looks great and I finally don’t have that ugly-ass counter top and white sink that had been in my house since, oh, 1964. I’m going to install the tile on Saturday (thus removing the carpet from my kitchen) and also a tiled backsplash. Then I’ll be done (and can move over to the bathroom!).
Phil will be rewarded with beer. Or whatever kind of reward Lisa’s cool with. 
Thanks again, Phil!
