House tour on video

Here's a video tour, on our teeny camera (which takes rather junky video), and not image stabilized or anything. But if you want a video house tour, view away :)

Kitchen is done

We just finished the kitchen refurbishment. We replaced the cabinets and installed the upper cabinet closeout for additional space. It would be easy for a person to add doors on the uppers if a person desired.

We replaced the island top and painted interior. Looks good. Waiting for replacement doors on the island, they should be installed soon.

The new flooring is completed.

Upstairs Virtual Tour

The upper story is done now. So here's most of it in a virtual tour:

The hallway (the carpet pictured here is now replaced with a slightly lighter carpet).



Bedroom 1 has a closet with a bench inside it.



Bedroom 2. The refinished wood floors really glow!


The closet of bedroom 2.


Bedroom 3.


Bedroom 3 has a walk-in closet.



The bathroom is also nicely painted. Pictures of that sometime :)

A bit of the work done so far

The kitchen in progress.

This photo is from the beginning of December. Chester installed all new cabinets above the stove/fridge area. The cabinets and their doors are finished now, just don't have a picture yet.


The leveled stairs.

Remember the slanted/saggy stairs? These are now significantly beefed up, but we had to remove the carpet. New carpet coming for the stairs hallway and entire living room next week.

Kitchen before shots

The Kitchen remod is almost done, so I thought I'd better get on the posting of "before" shots.

It was this light aqua blue (maybe I should call it aquamarine?), and yellow


They started the tearout by removing the cupboards, which I thought were perfectly fine, but I guess weren't.


And ended removing a whole wall (to the left of this shot)


On that wall they removed was several layers.
The top was the yellow paint.

Under that was this blah wallpaper. (In the upper left corner).


Then this lovely set: the top wall paper, the border and the bottom was painted.


Then another layer of paint followed by some cloth wallpaper.


Then another wall paper.


And finally this really paper-y wallpaper with a tiny print. It's super thin and just breaks apart rather than tears off in any way.



It kind of makes me dread the walls in other rooms.

Exterior work almost done!

Finally, the exterior is painted!


We chose the color by mixing all the brownish exterior mis-tints that Sherwin Williams had.


A bit of red on the doors really warms things up.


We still need to scrape off the windows.


Work on the interior is in full swing. Look for pics tomorrow (or sometime soon)!
