810 Kitchen Remodel

Week 32

The battle of the backdoor has begun. Just when we thought we were in home stretch, the last hurdle is upon us with the portal to the exterior. I think that the kitchen is trying to trap us and never let us leave.

With most of the week spent away from the house with the holiday, most work was executed on Sunday after a morning of sleeping in. Most odds and ends were taken care of first, which proves to be a poor decision. Since the weather was nice we decided to take the door off and sand it on the back porch in preparation for painting. Thinking that we were going to be fancy, and switch out the hardware and hinges to match the rest of the kitchen. Gold is so out.

Everything is sanded except the impossible trim pieces on the door. New hinges were put on and mounted to the frame. Everything is fine until you try to close the door. Which at this point it doesn't do. The door will not shut and will not close not matter how hard you try. So we have removed the center hinge and have the door shut and battened down with the deadbolt.

The door may or may not be painted by the weekend. Not surprisingly, a new door and frame are on Joe's Christmas list. Good thing we have stand by attack cats.

The party is still on for Saturday. So this week will be spent putting the house back together for the Open House. Be sure to stop by and check out our new kitchen. No new pics this week, in anticipation for a big reveal on Saturday.
