I didn’t post anything for week 3 because, well nothing really happened. The electrician did show up an do the rough in work, but this is the week of real progress.
The cabinet installer is here and here’s what we have this afternoon:
Next week we the center island will be installed and the counter top people will be out to make their templates for granite that needs to be fabricated. If all goes well, we’re hoping to wrap this up in a month.
I’ve been working on my deck area and here’s where I was at the beginning of the week:
This is the replacement irrigation line. It took awhile to get to this point and almost a week of work to get it all covered up again to look like this:
Yup, I put all the dirt, sand and pavers back. I have a little more of this to do and then it will be time to work on the wooden deck that will go somewhere near the top of this pictures.
Then, here’s what I did with the old cabinets from the kitchen:
Then are now in my scroll saw workshop. I did put the doors on the upper cabinets, but didn’t take a picture.
and yes, that’s a car jack:
That’s how I lifted the upper cabinets into place — those things are heavy. Now I just need to clean up the rest of the mess in the shed and I’ll be able to get back to my scroll saw work.
And on a final note, the power company finally inspected and approved my new solar installation. We turned the system on yesterday. Just in time for a major thunderstorm to block out the sun. I’m now soaking wet and didn’t produce any electricity yesterday.
That’s it for this week. If you need me, I’ll be in the closet looking for that umbrella, I know I have one …

Ohhh, so much beautiful cabinet space! I’m jealous. And I love those octagonal (?) pavers.

They are octagonal.

I was impressed with the amount of storage you allocated in your kitchen (never seems to be enough) but that was trumped by your level stonework, as well as the repurposing of the cabinets into your shed. “Andrew of all Trades!”

Great idea to re-use your cabinets, they look great… both the new and old ones. You’ve got A LOT of work going on. Look forward to seeing the island going in.
