Kitchen Day 1 & Mia's Fun

*Update- I am having issues with blogger and I cant get the collages to show up. I have tried to post through Picasa and then tried to upload through blogger but it is not working. I will try again later. At least the videos are on**

Today was day 1 of the Kitchen Remodel. Kevin began the demolition last night and finished it this morning. There are a lot of fun little quirky things that came up along the way in the demo that Kev and his dad had to deal with today. For example we are installing a pot filler above the cook top and he had to run a water line to that wall. Well, there are a bunch of boards that were in the way that had to be notched out to fit the pipe. There is also a lot of dry wall repair and other interesting things that they dealt with today. Because of this, it is going a bit slower than anticipated but they think they will be OK to get it done before the granite install next Sunday (a week from tomorrow).

This first collage is of the demo last night. Owen was totally into it. If you look at a couple of the pics you can see Owen on top of the fride taking down the cabinet doors. I also included some fun video. By the way, Mia slept through the whole demo which as you can tell by the video-- was very loud!!!!

The following collage is of the kitchen today towards the end of the day.




This collage is of all the fun things I get to keep Mia out of. If left to roam, she is into everything. THIS WEEK IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT!!! We met Laila and my sister for lunch and then Lai (and the kids) and I went to the park and let the kids play for a few hours. So luckily we were out of the house most of the day but when we got home Mia decided she wanted to climb on our new cook top and play with the screws and do all kinds of fun things. Oh this is going to be fun!!

Kev works tomorrow so new updates wont be until Monday but hopefully there will be some good progress by then. Have a good Sunday!!

  11. Wow! That is quite a project. You are going to love your pot filler! I don't even cook that often, but I don't know what I did without one!!

    Have you looked at the new Dooney purses for the spring? I have one picked out, but haven't taken the plunge yet.
