More photos of the kitchen

The contractors are finished with the first week of work on the kitchen. So far, they've gutted the walls, ripped out the wall between the kitchen and dining room, re-done most of the electric, ripped up the layers upon layers of flooring, replaced the kitchen window, and put up drywall. Not too shabby for 5-days work.

In the meantime, we're living exclusively upstairs. But hopefully by next weekend, we'll be able to start cleaning up and moving back to the 1st floor.

Here's our upstairs "kitchen":


And here's our upstairs "dishwasher":


And here's how things are coming along downstairs:

Gutted kitchen walls...


Dining room wall removed...


New box window...


Drywall installed...


New inset lights in the ceiling...



Next week, the contractors will put the finishing touches on the wall and install our new tile floors. At the same time, we're also having our stairs and upstairs hallway re-sanded. After that, we might actually be able to move back downstairs. Hooray!
