Kitchen demo

 Our kitchen renovation is underway.  Brent and some friends basically gutted the whole kitchen last Friday and today (this Friday) cabinets will be delivered.  I think - I'm still waiting on them to call with a time. Tomorrow the cabinets will be installed.  Our appliances come Monday and then we'll wait I think another week for the sink and counter tops. Once the cabinets go in tomorrow it'll get a lot easier for me to start putting our house back in order.  (oh and in the midst of all this we moved Joel into Colin's room - we're nothing if not ambitious! we just desperately needed sleep that we went ahead and did it.  So far so good.  The kids are enjoying it and Joel is sleeping in his bed longer and longer)






















We've had some great friends come out and help.  We couldn't have done it without them.  Tyler even came late two nights to help Brent tile.   Brent has been working hard.  Working all day and then coming home to work all night some nights on the kitchen.  The only complaint from the kids is that they miss daddy since he comes straight from work to do kitchen stuff. The boys have enjoyed the donuts for breakfast every morning and the fun snacks I got them to eat this week. And a dear friend of mine made us dinner one night that has been our lunches every day since.  So it hasn't been too bad.  I think its amazing we can go from gutted to basically done in a week.
 Then there will be painting and backsplash to do and we'll be done.  In time to get ready for our baby girl.  Most of you have been following the process on facebook but don't expect pictures on here until its absolutely done.  I took a ton of before pictures and I'm excited to place them side by side to see the difference. But that will probably come after the painting/backsplash.  We've gotten some amazing deals on all of this stuff so if any of you are looking to redo your kitchen let me know - we have connections.
