Kitchen Renovation!






The pictures above are of our kitchen before we started our renovation (other than the drop ceiling we tore out over a year ago)


This was Thursday evening




The above pictures were Friday evening with what got tore out that day.  Eric's parents and grandparents got to our house late Friday night to help us out.




On Saturday, they started the drywall work. We finished the tear-out and they got the new drywall hung on our ceiling. 



On Sunday, they got all of the drywall hung on the walls and got the first layer of mud(plus some of the second done).






On Monday, they got the rest of the mud up and did the sanding.  We also sprayed the walls with some texture.  It looks SO MUCH better already.  We are so thankful that Eric's parents and grandparents were able and willing to come out and stay with us and help us with the kitchen.  We definitely wouldn't have got that all done without them.




After they left on Monday, Eric and I put the first coat of primer on the walls and ceiling, some of the corners weren't quite dry from the mud so we didn't do those yet.


Eric has been working on removing tile on and off most afternoons.  Tonight he finished removing the tile!  I am going to put the second coat of primer on tonight.  Our next steps are the actual painting and installing new flooring!  We are very excited at all the progress our kitchen has made in 1 week!

I particularly like the picture of Eric tearing out cupboards barefooted and in what, I am guessing, were his pajamas from the night before. Don't call OSHA. I guess the gloves & safety glasses in the last picture make up for it.
