Thursday:
We made it to page
three, after I spent the day working on a sawmill with a friend, we began
gluing down the laminate. It was not as hard as we first thought.
We finished all of it!, but the edges still need a profile routed on, but
all of it is glued down and trimmed
|
|
A finished counter top (and a very happy
Carol!)
Stay tuned: Next is the tile back splash
|
 |

Friday:
oops, News flash: the lazy susan we where
to build later in life, don't fit through the hole with the counter installed,
so a crash build, not too bad, only a day set back. stained and finished
the counter edges.
|
|
Saturday:
Dump day in Canton, so we took the morning
to load and unload the truck with about a zillion pounds of old drywall
and scrap, when we got back (after a bagel) I enlisted the help of the
locals to pull off the final sanding
|
 |
 |
Finished! Cool, better and cheaper
than store bought!
|
|
A quick close-up of the counter edge work
(with no stain)

 |
Sunday:
What a job, we had to run new drain and
supply lines, setup that giant disposer, "you could throw a dead cat in
there" is that a Vermont thing?
|
|
That's the look I like, I haven't seen that
in a while. I really gotta get that stove hooked up!
Okay, tile next.....?

Monday:
Slow day today, we secured the countertops,
then cut and installed the Italian marble tile behind the range.
The picture doesn't really show it very good, but it is a really cool,
deep green marble with flecks of black and light green that match the counter
|
|
Tuesday:
Installed the tile backsplash today, We
also found out that Lowe's will match the price on the flooring that we
don't like at Home Depot (they don't know that) maybe up to 10% off?
Looks like a trip to Bloom Lake is on the
horizon, maybe Wednesday and Thursday, (we'll see what the boss has to say?)
|
 |
 |
Wednesday:
We applied the grout today, while that was
drying, we installed the dishwasher, stove, and all of the light switches
and outlets. Starting to be a functional kitchen again!!
I'm leaving in the morning for a trip to
Bloom meadows to see if there is enough water to launch the dredge, so
no updates 'till Sunday.
|
|
Monday:
Back at it, dredging went good; but that
is another story.
We installed knobs today, caulked around
the counter and tile joint. Carol installed all of the shelves and
started to organize things. also switch plated went on, small stuff
but every bit counts. Floor next
|
 |
 |
Tuesday:
The Lowe's got out flooring in stock, we
got them to match the price at Home Depot, so we ended up getting what
we wanted for what we wanted to pay! (gotta save for more equipment)
It needs to sit for a few days, we will install it this weekend.
Time to open the pool today!
Wednesday:
Sawmill work, pool and some moldings today
|
|
Thursday:
Moldings today, The green ones around the
tops of the cabinets (that is Carol cooking some dinner before we start
the floor)
|
 |
 |
Friday:
Started on the floor, we installed the padding
under the floating wood floor. had to remove all of the appliances again.
|
|
We got all of this done by 10:00 PM, then
I smashed my finger with the hammer and we had to quit for the night, OUCH!!
|
 |
 |
Saturday:
Finished all of the kitchen floor, and we
are putting the appliances back, this time for good! not much more
to do!
