Rocked out!

That is what Tim tells me.
He never wants to remodel another room again.
Like I have said before, if it wasn't for our friend Jack we wouldn't be this far.

Tim hates doing things he doesn't know how to do!

This wall is where the stove will be with upper and lower cabinets on each side. The door you see off the right is the basement door. I plan to refinish it when the weather cooperates. It has been rainy and cool here for weeks.

Tim did this all on his own. I must say he did a mighty fine job!
Tim could do this himself but doesn't want to waste wood by making wrong cuts so we have a friend that plans to trim it out for us.
Obviously, oak cost more than sheet rock.

Tim also added a two-way switch to the light so we can turn it on when entering either side of the kitchen.

Where the ladder stands will be the pantry extending from ceiling to floor. Beside it on the left will be a counter, sink, dishwasher, and another counter.

I am excited to have my pantry in the kitchen.

Our refrigerator will be on the left hand side and another small pantry on the right that will be a trash/broom closet.
This little wall had to be built to enclose plumbing that went to the upstairs bathroom.
The wall is deep enough that we plan to make a built-in cabinet which will hold our keys and junk and maybe even a telephone.

My son got such a big kick out of me that he had to have a picture for the blog.
Yes, I am in my temporary kitchen/laundry/bathroom standing on a small stool doing the dishes. It sucks being short!
