They are starting on the kitchen today. We have most of the cabinets cleared out and everything else is in the dining room. The cats know something's up.

I’m sure it will be beautiful when it is all done.

Just went through that. New granite countertop, sink, faucet, cabinets and I installed new flooring. Also new flooring I installed in walk-in closet, office and both baths. Believe me, this old man is tired, bruised, yet still find time to play with his trains. OH, installed new granite countertop in one bath and fixtures. The last bath they called this morning that the countertop is done and I'll pick-up tomorrow and install along with new fixtures. I'll be glad when I get my "honey-do list" done. I feel for you, our cats hid out during my work and were curious about new flooring. The back and knees still feel it.

I've known him for years nice thing about living in a small town. The biggest project I've ever did was build my layout. I had a DVD from TM Videos called 'Building An O Gauge Layout '. Had It not been for that I would have been clueless.

Wish I had one, but they must work together. They wanted as much per sq ft as it cost. Since I knew how to, I did. I do get help with Granite countertops. Too heavy and won't let wife help. Gave a teenager in area 20.00 to help lift out of truck onto cabinet. Rest is easy.

Disruptive to say the least, but when it is done, it will be worth it.

Denny it is all downhill now. Of course, the putting back process exceeds the removal by 400% or more. Trains by Labor Day.

Denny, this remodel is a mistake! For what it will cost, just think of all the cool trains you could buy!

Denny, this remodel is a mistake! For what it will cost, just think of all the cool trains you could buy! Why not have both? Just slip a few items into the kitchen remodel budget. ”Tradesmen: 1. Plumber: 2,500.00 2. Carpenter: 2,500.00 3. Transformer: 899.00” It’s Lionel ZW time!
