Who took my KITCHEN???

[FLBentRider]

Which corner is the Stumps going to go in with the new chimney you'll be installing?

[SouthernSmoked]

Good snag Pat, those cab's will look brand new in your Man-Cave!

And for Dufus I meant Hal, can't wait to see the finish pic's.

[TestRocket]

You done yet?  ;)

[beefmann]

im sorry for taking your cabinets, I needed more storage  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[BuyLowSellHigh]

What a project!  Have fun with it Hal - you'll love it when it's done.

I did that once, well actually much more than a kitchen.  I lived the Money Pit experience, including the contractor telling me "two weeks" when he started, and his crew was still living with me six weeks later.  That was before the movie came out.  Never again (he said with great hope).

Curse you, hal!!!  I lived through a kitchen remodel and swore to never let it happen again about 20 years ago. So why aren't I laughing?  Because, damn fool that I am, I'm going to do it again in a few weeks.  Now I not only have to do it myself, but have to be reminded of how ugly it is even before the fact when I'm on the forum trying to forget about it.

And what is so hard about a kitchen revovation!  It's such a small thing in the scheme of things.  Ya'll act like you've never seen construction before!  Construction is a way of life!  We like to drive owners crazy.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

So that's where Squirt is going to put all his sauce, rubs and spices....

The before and after are both ok. 
It's that $%*#! in the middle that $%&*$!!!

New cabinets came today!
I'm not ready to put them in yet (pesky job thingie has me behind).

The two guys that delivered the cabinets had one more stop and then they were heading home to CHICAGO...
Good luck with that, boyz...  It's just a BLIZZARD.
Heck, I got two inches of snow indoors while they were bringing them in.

You should post some pics of the last kitchen tearout...

Don't know if I have any pics of the BEFORE ugliness...
The finished kitchen from the old house is posted here: http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Kitchens/LDs-Kitchen/detail.esi?oid=448768
The one I'm doing now is nothing like that one (not contemporary)

[squirtthecat]

I might have something..  Let me look.  (while the power is back on and somewhat stable)

[hal4uk]

So anyway...
Today (like almost every day during a remodel) I had to make a run to Lowe's.
Gonna be doing a LOT of trim, and (among other things) I needed a stand for the miter saw.

Well, it was crazy warm... almost summer-like... so I took the roadster!


Ok... I'm lying.  It was colder than a welldigger's @$$ out today.
The bus is in the shop, and a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

I literally saw people in their vehicles pointing and laughing at me.
Good thing I'm not sensitive.   :-\
