The kitchen

Our next project was the kitchen. Over the course of a couple of visits, we worked on the floor and the cabinets.

First, Gerald installed a sub-floor. This is a new product that is supposed to be mold resistant.

Then he began laying tile. We had picked a plain, red quarry tile. Originally priced at 77 cents a tile at Lowes, we bought it on clearance at 11 cents a tile.

Meanwhile, I turned the utility room into a paint studio.

When I was finished, Gerald began installing cabinets.

Once installed, Gerald re-hung the cabinet fronts and covered everything with plywood so the drawers wouldn't get dusty until he could fabricate the countertops.

He had hoped to measure for countertops, but decided it would be better to return with cardboard and make a template on our next visit.
