SUMMER HAS ARRIVED

Sunday, June 8 - The kitchen remodel project is in its final stages. Completion is just around the corner or should that be “just around the counter?” The fellow was here to create a template for the “Corian” style counter top. It is a very interesting process. He used a computer and laser to draw an exact copy of the cabinet tops.

Every change in elevation or wall deviation was stored in his tablet.

From there it's back to the shop where the computer generated system makes the exact solid surface counter to fit this kitchen. In two weeks they'll be back to install the finished counter!

The old fashion way of measuring the counter tops.

Paul, Dave, and Kelly worked over 14 hours to install the tile floor several Saturdays ago. It was VERY hard work but energy well spent.

Dave supervises while Paul makes the first cut.

Kelly wore many hats. She was responsible for making sure the floor tiles were level.

Once Paul mixed the mud outside, she was responsible for being sure it remained well mixed.

Everyone concentrating on their job.

You may ask…What the heck was Marsha doing all this time. Besides taking the photos, she was the “goofer.” She ran and got what ever someone needed, including running to Home Depot.

Since Paul laid the last tile in the bathroom, Marsha got the honors of laying the last one in the kitchen.

The finished floor looks awesome! Dave's aching back has returned to normal after several visits to the golf course to make-up for missed T-times....LOL.

After letting the tile set for several days, it was on to the grouting.

Finito…which means finished for you non-Italians.

Paul has re-installed the cabinets.

We only ordered two additional cabinets and removed one odd shaped cabinet from our original run of cabinets. They too look super and only wait for their “topping” to be finished. Marsha worked on replacing all the knobs on the cabinets.

After the counter tops are installed, Paul and Dave will do a little more tiling on the backsplash. The entire kitchen will be completed.

Next is to install the vinyl siding and soffit outside. It will be nice for Paul to get outside and enjoy some of the fabulous weather we've been having here in NE Ohio. So check back and get a view of the finished project.

Now to our terrific weather! Everything is lush green. The flowers and garden are doing awesome. You would never know this part of the country had such a cold, cold winter.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
