After I finally rolled out of bed on Saturday….. Day two!!! First thing was to tackle this crazy wire that was coming out of the floor and had been redirected into the wall.
seriously, who does that?!? I just
can’t get over how lazy some people are. The kids thought it was hilarious to be talking to their dad through a hole in the floor. So, it was good that they had some fun with that 🙂

That finished we moved on to taping and floating the walls which was my manly man’s job.
And two coats of koala bear paint from Home Depot. Women’s work:/
I love my helpers!
Does anyone else think cabinets are ridiculously and unnecessarily heavy? I was in the Army and consider myself to be pretty strong for a woman, and um, I almost let them fall.
I’m not sure why they need to weigh so much, maybe to justify their outrageous price? I don’t know. But two hours later, which is pretty good for novice cabinet hangers, and they were up! Yay!
A trip to the attic for some wall hangings and such that had been sitting up there for five years waiting for this day and we were done! Now the shelf is still missing, maybe next weekend. And the 5 and some odd inch gap on the left is waiting on a home made wine rack. Then the entire kitchen can be finished off with some DIY flooring and crown moulding and I might actually cook in there on a regular basis! I think it’s time to start thinking up a new excuse as to why I never cook. I can no longer use the excuse that I hate my kitchen because it’s ugly. I’ll take any suggestions! All in all, it was a great project to start off 2013 with. One weekend and $300 later and I no longer want to hide that side of my kitchen with the refrigerator! One more pic in case you forgot what it looked like originally. I know I have! Then it’s off to bed to dream about what we can tackle next!
DIY-ing Life!
