Episode 24: Endgame

The last of the appliances has been installed, and the kitchen is now almost fully functional. The only functional item missing is the wiring of the countertop outlets. We still have to install the tile backsplash, and some baseboard and trim, but it's about done. Oh yeah, we still need to do under the cabinet lighting, but that isn't urgent. Just in case you don't want to browse through the last 23 episodes to see the beginning of the kitchen, I have included the before and after shots. I like the new kitchen much better.
Before.

Also Before.

The final before...

And After!


We love the kitchen. It caused a great deal of pain and grief for a while, but it's done and much more functional than before. And I don't have any leaking plumbing. There will be a tile backsplash on the wall above the countertop, and the countertop outlets are not yet wired. We are able to use all of the appliances, however, so the reign of microwave cuisine has officially ended.



Stay tuned for the next terrifying volume of this series: "Flushed Away", the bathroom renovation. Fortunately, it is nowhere near as daunting as the kitchen was.
