New Kitchen: Phase I
Posted on March 22, 2006 - Filed Under Business |
As I’ve stated millions of times, the key to moving a house is held in the kitchen and bathroom.
Today, we start the kitchen in the front house.

Phase I consists of knocking down walls. Over on the right, you can see a sketch I made of my "kitchen". I use that term loosely. The kitchen is actually broken into two rooms, for some reason. The first room, the bigger, I call the "before kitchen room" and then there’s the actual "kitchen". They are, for some reason, odd sized. Pairing them together will require some magic and a bit of trickery. |

On the sketch, the blue lines are the interior walls. The giant red X marks a wall that is coming down. Except the one wall, which is just being shortened. The wall on the right has a green line on it. There’s a door there that enters the master bedroom. That door will be removed and closed in.
Who is doing the work? I’m hoping Contractor#1 (the handyman). If he can start right away then the job is his. But a condition of his employment is that he must start right away.
Contractor#2 will arrive tomorrow to take exact measurements and draw up my new kitchen. He is building me custom cabinets for the same price as those pre-fabricated ones from Home Depot. More information on him will be coming soon.
Don’t worry! There will be plenty of photos.
It feels good getting stuff done.
ROAR!!

Thanks to the budget overrun, I'm carrying a rather large chunk of debt on my credit card.

Admittedly I am the worst California resident.

Hey, I just finished reading your whole blog. I’m honored that you have linked my blog on yours. You are a much better writer than me. Can you tell I’m an engineer, my blog is all numbers and facts, not much actual writing.
Good luck with the kitchen remodel!
