I thought I'd document the schedule for each step of our kitchen overhaul.
This is no tutorial.
This is no DIY project.
We are paying cold, hard cash for an entirely new kitchen (minus the refrigerator). Some things are worth paying good money for :-)
As a side note, we are using Discount Floors Superstore to coordinate the whole shebang. They were running a kitchen special over the holidays (which I think is still going on, if you're interested).
Thursday, Feb 2: Demo Day! Cabinet, backsplash, countertops, flooring...all ripped out. Electrician and plumber came by to move wiring and water lines since we are moving the fridge and dishwasher as well as reconfiguring our lighting.
Friday, Feb 3: New cabinets installed.
Tuesday, Feb 7: Tile laid throughout the kitchen and laundry closet. Final measurements and template constructed for the granite countertops.
Wednesday, Feb 8: Tile grouted in kitchen and laundry closet.
Thursday, Feb 9: Walls and ceiling repaired, then mudded and textured.
Friday, Feb 10: Sink and granite countertops installed.
Saturday, Feb 11: Tumbled stone backsplash installed.
Monday, Feb 13: Plumber returns to install garbage disposal and hook up the sink and dishwasher. Electrician returns to install 6 can lights in the ceiling, under cabinet LED lighting, and 2 pendants over the counter-height bar area. The electrician will also install our new range and over-the-range microwave.
Tuesday, Feb 14: I will rejoice over a beautiful, fully functional kitchen that I've dreamed of since day 2 of living in this house. I will enjoy every second of planning out how to most efficiently fill our new cabinets!
Can't wait to see the FINISHED product pictures! How exciting!
