I know this has been incredibly slow going, but the un-fun prep stuff takes awhile with little to nothing to show for it. BUT, that said, starting this weekend, things should start moving a little more quickly. We can’t install cabinets until the wall is up to code, with an outlet for every 4 feet of counter space. Plus outlets for under cabinet lighting…oh, and we have a switch hanging from the ceiling that needs to be dealt with.
We decided after taking out the wall last weekend that it was worth the splurge to get an electrician in. The CC is pretty good with electrics, but he’s one guy with a day job, and for what we need done, a team of 2 guys is going to get us ready to roll in about 4-6 hours. They come early Friday morning, which means Friday night, we can start busting out some progress. We have one lot of cabinets sitting in the garage waiting for assembly. I’ll probably drive to Atlanta sometime next week to get the second lot and the other bits like handles etc…
As a reminder of what we had on this wall of the kitchen…this is as it was the day we looked at the house….
…and this is how we’ve been living with it.
We eliminated all the wasted space behind those tiny bi-fold doors, but never quite finished.
It’s a project, so that means only one thing….OTTOBOMB.
This is our highly scientific way of showing the electrician where we generally want the outlets.
More later….I HOPE!
