Kitchen Remodel-week 4, Tuesday

We ended up being a day late in getting our kitchen cabinets delivered.  They were supposed to come on Monday, but last Friday was a bad driving day-ice. So the one shop was closed all day.  Things were picked up there yesterday. Was not sure they were going to get here today. Another Arctic blast - temps in the mid-20's early this morning with drizzle.  That didn't start till around 5 am. so you can imagine what the roads were like during rush hour.  Lots of slippery bridges and over passes and people not prepared for it.  The schools went from a 2 hour delay to no school. (over 200 accidents in the Austin area alone)

A Texas roof shouldn't be looking like this! The gutters were frozen

so we had  icicles and then dripping water freezing on the porch. So a little slippery-careful walking was needed. 

 Seeing as the cabinet guy is about an hour away and in the country we weren't sure.  However they did get here around 1 P.M. (It didn't get above freezing until noon). They got some of the cabinets installed today and are planning on being here before 8 in the morning. Not sure if the trim guy while be here tomorrow afternoon or wait until Thursday.

Discussing the cook top vent 

The big tall cabinet is for the refrigerator. I really wasn't sure about the cabinet for the fridge, Never had 

a set up like that. But once the other cabinets were put in place, it will be good.

The dark cabinets will stay wood stained-hickory.

The light wood cabinets are for under the granite slab (island) they will painted.

The open side you see in the picture is for the side facing the family room-doors without knobs, will have have finger holds cut into the top of the doors. That way they will not look like cabinets.

 

Tall cabinet close to the arched doorway ( right side facing you) is for the microwave and wall oven. 

Then to the left a cabinet, then the cook stove top under the vent pipe, next is another cabinet.

You can see more of the cabinets where the corner pantry used to be.

The the refrigerator cabinet, then the cabinets where the glass block was located. Without the

window I can have a nice back splash with outlets instead of having an extension cord on the counter! 

If the weather is cooperative in the morning we will be pretty well on track.

cabinets for the laundry room. The one on the right on the floor is the over the washer/dryer/sink cabinet. 

Then the tall cabinet at the end! We ordered under cabinet LED light strips for here and the kitchen.

Also took down the fluorescent light and put in cans. Moved the light switch to the hallway so we could have the tall cabinet.  It is shaping up nicely. 

The only thing we need to buy ( we think) are pulls for the cabinets. Bought the lighting yesterday, 

the plumbing pretty much finalized I think we are good to go! 

 

The girls have been great! Tilly was too busy exploring to be in the photo.
