As most of you probably know, Barbie has been itching to do a redesign of a kitchen since she was probably 5 years old and started cooking. Well, her wish is finally coming true, albeit very expensively (except the cabinets…thanks Danny!). So, we have now been relegated to dining out for the next 6 weeks as construction begins. Unfortunately, I was hoping to take some before and after pictures, but I forgot the before pictures, so now you just get the during and after pictures. If you want to get a feel of the kitchen beforehand, you can watch the latest Kyle walking video as he basically shows you the kitchen and breakfast area, which are now being combined into one. Also, I have decided to try out Google’s photo album as our current one is giving me some issues. Therefore, let me know what you think of it.

Below you will find pictures starting with the completion of Day 3 of work (2/27/2008), along with video of the kitchen and me narrating what has happened that day. I’m not a construction guy, so I don’t have all the fancy lingo down, but you will get the drift. As sort of legend, the photos are labeled as to the completion day. So, photos that say “Day 3″ are photos taken after the completion of Day 3. The videos are labeled accordingly as the completion of that day of work. Enjoy.

Kitchen Redesign

p.s. All photos and videos thus far have been from my phone…so not the best, but simple and easy to use.

Sorry for the late posting of this one, but it has been an extremely tough week for us. Friday night we cleaned out the Kitchen for our remodel, which has been going on since Monday. Then Saturday morning, we heading to Modesto for Jeanne’s and Kathie’s B-Day celebration, followed by a Super Bowl party on Sunday evening. What a game by the way! Sunday night we came back, finished up the cleaning of the kitchen, and now begin the long renovation of having no kitchen for 6 weeks. Anyways, since cleaning out the kitchen on Friday night, I have had a serious headache and have been struggling. I’ve been in bed by 9pm for 5 of the last 7 nights, only the last two nights have I stayed up later. I think I have taken more Ibuprofen and Tylenol this week than I can ever remember. It’s like the headaches I used to get weekly when I was a kid, but this one has lasted a week. I’ve actually been to acupuncture the last two days, and things have gotten 80% better, but not all the way there. Not sure what is going on, but it is killing me.

Anyways, that is not the reason for this post, it is for showing you that Kyle can walk. Disregard the crazy conversation by Barbie in the background. She told me to edit it, but that just takes more time than it is worth. Kyle does have some things to say though…
