I leave my husband at home for an afternoon....

He’s doing great. He’s accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. We had to change the electrical, window, door and plumbing and it took months. Luckily the plumbing was done quickly. Love the hanging lights. They are very nice. Try and focus on the end result when you start getting frustrated and the money you save having a DIY man in the house. When this is all finished it will look fabulous.

The ongoing (and what feels like endless but I know it’s not) kitchen renovation. New cabinets getting installed, countertop (not sealed yet) and that’s the backsplash tile we’ve chosen sitting there too. New sink, new floor, and that window wall is being prepped to knock it out and install a sliding glass door. Ron is a frikkin superhero!!

Love your choices of flooring, backsplash & lights. Can‘t wait for your superhero to complete this work.

There’s still a great deal to do in the kitchen, none the least of which is sealing and finishing the wood countertops. The sealant is Marine grade and has to be special ordered, so it will be a couple more weeks till we can finish the counters, and I’m tired of washing dishes, prepping food and making coffee in the laundry room. Behold my creative solution so that I can use the kitchen while we wait!! Towels are covering the plastic tarp that I taped to the walls and spread over the counter so that I don’t ruin them by splashing water or spilling something! It looks ridiculous but it works!

And he starts knocking out walls for his “relaxation” time.

Before. This is the wall that divides the living room (still under renovation) with the kitchen.

Im sending you a trophy for your patience
Way back in the mid 80s hubby and I gutted an entire 2 family, 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom house,took out all the plaster and lathe, insulated the whole shebang...
Wouldn’t do it again without a gun held to my head so GOD BLESS!!!

I have a door in my kitchen now!!! Ron knocked out that window wall and installed a sliding glass door!

I think what Ron has achieved is quite 'trendy', Ronni, you should be rather chuffed with the new look. Don't you realize that possibly thousands have now seen your new space and will want to copy.

I LOVE the color of the floor, have your hubby drop by my house and install it here as well.
