Cabinets, Cabinets, Cabinets (and what Bdon has done too)

So, for the next few days, Barb lived in a box. Well, several boxes, actually. She took off all the doors from the upper cabinets in the kitchen, and proceeded to sand, prime, and put two coats of white paint on them. The white cabinets make the room so much brighter!

 

...In the mean time...

Brandon was too big to fit in the boxes too. So he had to come up with some stuff to do. Luckily, the list is long.

He plumbed the front door: (the front dead bolt could barely latch before)

Moved the ceiling fan from the dining room to the bedroom:

Painted the obnoxious brass fan blade connections for the fan in the living room,

And decided to tackle the demolition for the widening of the doorway between the main living space and the kitchen/dining area.

Unfortunately, when he opened up the wall, it was a classic HGTV moment: There is ALWAYS a catch. The copper supply lines and the PVC waste water drainpipe were RIGHT where we want to open up to. We will have to wait to hear back from a plumber before we move forward...
