Kitchen Remodel Update

Well the kitchen remodel is SLOWLY coming along. We might just get done before Christmas, but I doubt it...who knows. One of the issues we had with the house is that the patio door was leaking under the floor just a bit. So we decided to replace it. (Eventually we want to replace all the old windows with much more energy efficient ones, so this got at least one upgraded) Here are some photos of the door being replaced. Chris decided the floor and everything else was more than enough work for him, so we did hire someone else to come in and do this. It only took them less than an hour to do the whole thing. Once they took out the old door, we second guessed our decision to not do French doors, but the new door looks great and we did not want to disrupt our view of our backyard with lattice in the windows.


Here is the new door all installed. It is so nice and white and shiny, the old one had turned a kind of Grey white and just looked dirty....notice no muddy dog prints on it....yet!


As for the painting, we almost have the cupboards finished. I still have 15 doors sitting in the basement that need 4 coats of paint on each side, but those can stay off for awhile yet. I havent even thought about the walls yet, those may stay until after we get the floor in.

This week while I was at Charlie Brown rehearsal, Chris put Isaac to work ripping off the old vinyl flooring. I was so happy to come home to find that the awful 80's vinyl was gone!!!

Isaac loves helping do any work around the house and is having a good time helping daddy whenever he can. Yesterday we were talking about what we were thankful for and he kept talking about the new door. :-) What a cutie.
