Today was my first day that I had to rake my enormous oak tree laden hell yard.
Here’s the before:
And here’s the after:
Pretty good job, eh?? Rake courtesy of John Deere.
After I finish doing all this, I look up into the heavens…
And realize that mother nature hasn’t even started raining her leafy terror on my […]

Over the weekend we went from 100 to 200 amps. This was partly for safety reasons, and so that in the future when we want to add new stuff (like a microwave range and a hot tub or whatever) we have enough circuits. The old circuit breaker:
A bit of a mess. […]
This is what I got for christmas this year.
It’s a cona coffee maker, and it’s the coolest thing ever. You put medium ground coffee in the top, water in the vessel below that, and denatured alcohol in the very bottom (methylated spirits, for you brits). You light the thing up, and when the […]

Not only that, there was some significant water damage to the countertop, because the original caulking wore away.
The empty sink base.
I made a new frame around […]

The cabinets and countertop are in! The next phase of the project starts this weekend: compounding, retiling, and painting. I’m unskilled, pretty slow, and I lose interest in things quickly, so this will probably take me a couple of weeks to complete.
Although we’re not finished with the project yet, we couldn’t be more […]

Everything started today around 9am. Here are the pictures:
My worst fear came true! 2 of the pipes that supply water to the sink were directly in the way of our new drawer cabinet, and the guy doing the install wasn’t a plumber. I called my plumber (Aiello Plumbing) and they were on […]

Tommorow they are coming to tear everything down, so I had to completely empty the kitchen tonite. Including dismantling the pantry. It took me hours to do, and it sucked, but I’m finally done.
Cabinets are totally empty, and ready to be dismantled.
Completely cleaned out the sink (which is going to be reused). […]

This weekend Mark came over and took the doors and hinges to many of our cabinets. He is going to use them in his basement, for some crazy project he is working on.
We also started to get all the stuff out of the kitchen. I can’t even believe all of the crap we […]
