Meanwhile back in the Kitchen


"Lets just paint the kitchen cupboards and install new appliances" - Joel (sometime in August)
Naturally this Virgo got going on this project and noticed that nothing had ever been done properly in this kitchen and set to work bringing the plumbing and electrical back to code, re-doing the previous wrong kind of drywall, rebuilding all the supports for the appliances. And that's before we started on the paint... which needed 2 primer coats + 3 coats of paint and we needed to buy a paint sprayer and a sander. Then the drawer beds weren't good enough so those are all being replaced with custom made solid alder, dove tail, full extension drawers. Then drawer pulls needed to be ordered from Lee Valley in Canada because the solid oiled brass was the obvious choice. The island is getting a 350lb custom made butcher block which Joel is currently building a support system to hold up and this is just ONE side of the kitchen. We decided to do one side at a time. #saveme
