moving on...

enough with the baby stuff. :) for updates on how she is, check melissa's blog. if you're interested in the kitchen,...

we'll show you the prep work!

with cabinetry was torn out, dad made use of the opportunity by fixing the wiring that was originally using the old cabinetry to hide behind. we cut holes into the drywall to hide existing wiring and prepped the area for new appliances.

working with wires

while dad worked with the electricity, i decided to make better use of my time by verifying measurements and making room for the cabinetry by cutting existing baseboards down to accommodate some of the cabinetry supports.

it's always in the hardest place to work in.

so the rest of the prep work was really not worth photographing (and melissa shouldn't be sucking up the paint fumes anyway). it was priming and painting... 4 coats of primer. and 2 coats of paint. the drywall (original drywall mind you) kept sucking up the primer leaving a shadow of the old water spots and stains previously left. this behr stuff is supposed to repel mold and moisture so we're putting it to the test here. anyway, after a week of paining you get this:

purty in't it?
