Kitchen Update Week 2

Here are some pictures from earlier this week. It may not look like a lot, but the work is all electrical and plumbing this week. I see it all!

We (Kevin) has to saw this cabinet in half to get it out. The cabinets were just wedged in there too tight to get them out in one piece.

We had the dumpster for one week, and we never imagined we would have filled it. Since we had the opportunity, we cleaned out some junk out of the house. (That chair had been broken since Colin was 3 and fell backward in it. Why did we still have it??)

The awkward step is gone! I am so happy.

This is going to be the new pantry. We don't need as much space as the old one.

Looking from the kitchen through the old pantry, into the mud/laundry room.

Waling straight forward, this is from the mud.laundry room into the dining room. The opening is moving from the left to the right.

The bathroom is being made smaller to make room for the pantry. (I never liked the shape of this bathroom. So I am happy it is changing!)

The kitchen. We still have a stove top, but we don't know for how long.

We ripped up the rest of the wood floors in the entryway, and all the carpet except in the family room. We left some scraps to walk on, like in this room. It allows the kids to get ready in the morning and not worry about shoes. (Those black spider webs are remnants from our Halloween decorations.)

This is our current family room. It is storing our pantry items, our dishes (which are now moved over by the table), our microwave, our catch-all drawers that we don't really want to pack up, our large dry erase board, lunch boxes, tupperware, some cooking supplies, and so. much. more.
