The hood has arrived

We had a few complications, but the hood is now here, and it looks terrific! This was the last major piece to be installed in the kitchen. I think we can call this project DONE! 

New Bathroom

After all this time, I just realized that I hadn't included a picture of the new half bathroom. This is a shot of the vessel sink. We have a little nook for Shelli's koto.

This blog featured in Oregonian

Somebody discovered our blog and published a little snippet in the August 10 Oregonian. Read the OregonLive.com article. You have to scroll down to the headline that says "Blog offers a chance to remodel vicariously." Fun stuff!

In remodel news, the last major thing we are waiting for is to get the right-sized hood installed over the cooktop. It turns out that the tile needs to be a little wider, so Mosaik will fix that likely next week and then will install the hood. After that I'll snap some final "After" pictures for a "Before and After" look.

Let the unpacking begin

Now we can finally start getting rid of the boxes that we have not unpacked since May, 2005.

  

Open for business!

108 days after work started, we are ready to celebrate Independence Day with a working kitchen! There are still some minor details to complete, including replacing the hood that ended up being the wrong size, a handful of lighting details, a door, and some other stuff, but we are ready to start moving our kitchen stuff out of the basement and into the new kitchen.
