No thanks!

pussy

Pulltab??? That would be like before the MOVE bombing.

Ah, Mayor Good. How have we survived without you?!

Almost all of the cabinetry is out, and the tile is coming down now. Pics of the mayhem tonight!

I'm really excited about this. More pics and less emo please!

Here's a week ago, last Sunday, when we started emptying everything out. I started by loading everything onto my beautiful gold flecked laminate countertop and then stopped to take this photograph



Isn't she a beauty? I wrote all of the measurements on the doors and cabinets, just in case you were wondering what the writing was about.

Here's how it looks today:



We worked on getting the wall cabinets down, and the front panel under the sink. We then took all of the tile down. That was only fun for a couple of minutes, however it took more than a couple of minutes to get all of that crap down. God I fucking hate tile.

What's left: The base cabinets, and the floor. Then we'll start cleaning up and construction! Pics to come tomorrow.

OK step it up. I'd have paid a Salvadoran an HOUR'S wage to do what you've done in a week.

Hitting things with a sledge hammer is fun.

Here's my color scheme for the kitchen

Walls = Robin's egg blue



Ceiling/Trim = Creamy white

Backsplash = Stainless Steel



Appliances = (when the current die) will be replaced with black and stainless steel

Floor tile = porcelain tile. Here they are! Just came in last week. The picture does no justice as they look like laminate, but they are indeed porcelain. Got a good deal on them too



Cabinets = Birch



Countertop = Oak Butcher block



handles/hinges ect = Stainless steel

Too bad I can't cook as deliciously as your south american workers

looks great.

I need to buy a house and turn it into a work of love

fixing your house is part fun, and part torture.

Old Contractor Joke Warning (and I'm an old contractor).

A man dies and finds himself at the entrance to hell. He didn't live a very good life. The Devil himself steps out and motions him over.

The Devil smiles and says, "You have the choice of two; Door number one or door number two"

"What's behind door number one?" the man asks.

"Fire and brimstone and great suffering for an eternity," the Devil answers.

"What's behind door number two?" the man asks.

"You live in your house while it gets remodeled."

fuck isn't that the truth

You could change the punchline of that joke to just about anything:
"Groundhog Day: Jonas Brothers version"
"A full-time job at Fox & Friends"
"Bagman pleasuring himself with his own rubber penis"

And so on.

SO. TRUE.

I've done that, and I've also done the "live for a month in my mum's spare room while my house gets truly remodeled and extended" thing. Both suck.

The only thing you can do in that situation is get stoned every day until it's over.

Yeah but I do that anyway.

Detroit and I found that the pipes were ROTTING underneath the sink! It was a matter of days or weeks before they burst and destroyed the floor boards. The sink had already been leaking for some time, and ate through the bottom of the cabinet. Delicious! We are working now on getting the water off. It's harder than you think!

So far today: All cabinetry is removed, working on shutting the sink and getting the countertop out. Im expecting to overhaul floors tomorrow night. Sometime between now and 9 my new kitchen is scheduled to arrive. Detroit is at Lowes now and wants to report that he was nearly run over by two Italian broads in Daddy's Mercedes. Welcome to South Philly!

I HATE HOME CONSTRUCTION. After this BS I want a whole lot of NOTHING for a while (but that's totally not going to happen. After the kitchen we have to overhaul the garage into a second studio.

Kill me now?

Wait til I crack a whip on that ghetto onion...

Kill me now?

Everything and the kitchen sink?

Oh thank the good Lord that you posted that picture of your sink. I was thinking to myself, I really hope Mello updates her home remodeling thread. I hope she posts a picture of her sink. That would make my day. I have no life to speak of, you see. You are infinitely better than me. I have no job, no life, no friends or family. I live for these pictures that you share with us, of your sink and your Topsy Turvy. I hope the next picture you post is of your tomato plant.

And for this, I thank you Mello, for giving me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

I'd feel better if Mello posted a picture of her new tile.
