Holy construction, Batman!

Filed under: whatever — Tags: — grappledunk @ 5:13 pm

I have come to loathe microwave food. If you’ve ever done construction on a kitchen, you feel my pain. And my pain has extended long past it’s scheduled end date because of a serious structural issue that would see the master bedroom eventually fly away from the rest of the house in a stiff breeze. But, because I’m excited that our cabinets are coming in tomorrow, and because I just felt like sharing, here’s a look at what we’ve been living with over the past few months.

Pushing the wall out a few feet. Big hole to fall in!

Why our backyard is now a huge mud pit

Living room

What it looks like when you try to moosh your entire kitchen into your living room. Note the strategic placement of the refrigerator behind two large boxes (the new ovens), an armchair, and an antique hutch.

It's going to be worth it...It's going to be worth it...It's going to be worth it...

It's going to be worth it...It's going to be worth it...It's going to be worth it...

  1. Looking very exciting–I can’t wait to see it! But what the hell is that giant pole in the middle of the kitchen? Is the kitty taking up pole dancing?

  2. The kitty is waaay to dignified to try pole dancing. That’s part of what’s keeping the upstairs from merging with the downstairs.

  3. O.K., now you have to post pix of the current state of the kitchen – the new cabinets are worthy of display! Then, final pix when the granite is in!
