2003 Kitchen Remodel Project
The Seventh Week
Wow! Now we're seeing some changes! On Saturday
we put on the final coats of paint (aside from some touch-up work), put down the
1/4" plywood floor underlayment and even started on hanging cabinets! Rich
again helped us by laying in with the screw gun. The plywood is meant to
provide a clean, stable surface for the new vinyl tile. Heck, even now it
looks better than the old linoleum! On Sunday, Rob's Mom & Dad (Lin and
Ron) came over and helped Francie assemble the cabinet bodies. They put
together all of the wall cabinets so we could get the line of main cabinets hung
on the walls! This is really starting to come together!
With a little luck (and some evening work this week), we hope
to have the room assembled and functional again after one more long weekend of
work.

Laundry room |

This pic really shows how the room colors work together. The ceiling and window trim are just-barely-off-white and the walls are a nice, well, beige with green tint? Something like that. Looks nice, though, huh? |

Plywood floor? |
|
Is this a decorating statement? No, just a surface for vinyl. |

They're finally up! |
|
The main line of wall cabinets are up. Here they need a little tweeking and some trim bits (at the side walls and the soffit). |

Wall cabinets |

The short one (left-center) is above the sink to give a little extra head room. |

Can you see the round trim at the top? |
|
This piece will help give them the look of unity and add some visual detail. It's the color of the cabinet doors, too. |
