kitchen recap
Just an update: I got our faucet and drain hooked up about a week ago. Also over Memorial Day weekend Anne's parents came to visit and my father in law helped me install the microwave over the stove as well as put up the crown molding on top of the cabinets.
Microwave and Faucet
Here's what's left for the kitchen at this point:
- Replace hinges on the island flip out bar
- Install finished kick board below cabinets
- Get water service to fridge for ice maker and water thinger
- Connect dishwasher air-gap
- Tile the wall behind the counters, (we have found the tile we want)
- Paint the walls and trim
- Replace kitchen light switches and add switch on the other side of the room
- Find and install new lighting fixture
And here is a refresher of what we've already done:
- Peel/scrape up old vinyl tile
- Have floor refinished
- Get new appliances (Range, Fridge, Microwave (thank you craig's list))
- Install 220V outlet for electric range
- Remove gas line for former range
- Install Dishwasher
- Remove old cabinets, counters, and sink
- Install new cabinets
- Have new counters and sink installed
- Install new sink faucet and drain
- Install new microwave (plus outlet for it)
- Install crown molding on top of cabinets
Let me know if I forgot anything
wow…from the length of both lists we are just barely half way there….Yikes!

Piddly stuff doesn’t stick out in the mind when you’re compiling the list of stuff you did. For example, the ‘put cabinet hardware on’ isn’t in the did list but it’s been did.
I think we’re a lot more than half way done.
