At the beginning of this project, our contractor stated “We’ve never had [a kitchen remodel] go longer than 3 months.  Well, they’ve got 2 more weeks!<\/p>\n

This week, all the crown moulding went up, seemingly all at once.  The cabinets just need “vacuum and adjust” as our contractor put it, and knobs, and they’re done!<\/p>\n

The other kitchen progress this week is that all the door casings went up.  I spent a longer-than-expected day Saturday prepping and painting them. The window casings need to wait for the countertops (since 2 windows have stone sills), and the baseboards still need to go in, so I suspect I’ll be doing it all again next weekend.<\/p>\n

Oh, and after much head-scratching, the range hood now vents to the outside.<\/p>\n

We are told to expect countertops to show up at 10:30 tomorrow morning, which is very exciting news indeed. Once the counters are in and the plumbers have worked their magic, we’ll be able to use the kitchen as a kitchen, even if it’s not 100% done.<\/p>\n

On the sunroom front, the walls are up and the roof is about 50% framed.

You can see the rough openings for the tall windows \/ doors on the side and back, and the kneewall on the front.  This kneewall is a bit higher than we had expected, but that’s fine — it will give us good privacy from the street. The pole in the middle is temporary until they get the rest of the roof framing done — the addition has a hip roof rather than a gable end.<\/p>\n

We’re told that there’s more leadtime than expected on the sliding windows for the front wall, and that may well delay completion of the project. But we’re proceeding with plans for a kitchen-warming in mid-late July even though the sunroom portion may not be 100% done. Stay tuned for details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
