More Progress on the Kitchen

There was lots more progress on the kitchen this past week in preparation for the cabinets which are meant to be delivered to the warehouse next week (March 10th to be exact). In addition Leslie and I (and three relatively patient little kids) spent consider hours shopping for new appliances. We have nearly decided. Who knew there were so many different options.

The new heating and cooling unit was installed in the attic and new vents were installed in the ceiling of each of the upstairs rooms. The upstairs of the house is now being heated by the new unit. The old floor vents have been disconnected from the downstairs unit.


The remaining windows were installed in our master bedroom and the trim around all the bedroom windows was also installed.

Additional framing, wiring, and lighting was installed in the kitchen. They also reduced the size of the heating and cooling ducts (seen in the top left of the picture below) since it no longer needs to feed the upstairs.

The wall between the kitchen and the old family room was removed and replaced with the framing you see below. This is where the bar area will eventually be.

And finally, the new bay window/window seat was installed in the front of the house.
