Kitchen remodel.
Well. Moved everything out of the kitchen. Disconnected Sink. Only Fridge and Kitchen stove remain.
Busted out drywall on outside facing wall. Removed old 1950's Windows. My house is a old hospital from WW2 when Pecos was a airbase. Kitchen was made by me knocking out 2 patient rooms and custom plumbing the fixtures.
I bought new 2x4s and re framed outside wall from the inside as old framing boards were termite damaged. We have have had Orkin already treat the place for a couple of grand. Framing is done.
Custom wiring installed by me from breaker box in utility room through ceilng to Kitchen was next. Done. I have now mounted four 4 gang boxes
on outside wall to give the wife 8 receptacles to go over some metal kitchen cabinets from the 1950's that I am also paint stripping, and going to repaint white also. I paint my own motorcycles so I have the right gear and experience for that also.
Used R30 insulation between outside stucco wal and new 5/8 drywall. Also installed new sliding windows. Drywall is 3/4 done. Still have tapeing and spackle to go though. Installed new outlets today also.
Will be using White Marble ceramic wall tile as a back splash for sink and kitchen cabinets.
Still have a gas line to rerun to relocate kitchen stove (O'keefe & Merrit circa 1952)
Getting there slowly but surely and not spending $45,000 on remodeling costs like on the Home channel.
