The above is a really old picture of the kitchen when we first moved in (none of my kids have been in high chairs for quite awhile now....)
Below is a picture of what the kitchen currently looks like.
It's not done, but this is definitely progress.
Monday morning the electrician came and did some work (including dealing with some things in the next room...but that is another story. Just consider if you get progressively blind as you age, that another option to adding additional light fixtures to your dark wood paneled room is to actually paint the paneling to a lighter color. The room was up to three separate and distinct light fixtures.)
Monday the guys came and put cabinets in.
Today the oven and dishwasher arrived.
We are sort of in a holding pattern until the counter tops (and a couple things that somehow did not get ordered with the cabinets) arrive.
I AM very excited because the microwave is supposed to be installed tomorrow morning. It will infinitely expand our food options because right now I am choosing between cooking with an electric skillet, an indoor grill, a toaster, and a coffee pot. There is a lot you can do with those items, but a microwave will allow so many more options until the range is installed.

WOW! What do the children think? Can they see were their hard work is making a difference? Muscle Man, Strong Arm and Power Girl -- you rock!
WOW indeed! What a difference! Makes it look bigger, too! You are SO going to enjoy this - thats what you have to remember in renovation. As miserable as it can get, the results are totally worth it.
The children are excited about it. The microwave is in the house, but unfortunately the microwave install did not end of being today because he didn't have the tool to put the duct work through the cabinet (his boss had it). Now he has seen the job and will be back on Friday. I am excited to report that the city picked up all of the demolition trash that was on the curb.
Glad the city picked up the stuff, as that can get hard to get rid of. More power to you. John and I aren't sure we'd live through a big remodel etc. specially of the kitchen! Hope it goes smoothly with the most excellent results. I love the way it's looking so far. Big difference!
