Kitchen Upgrades

kitchen upgrade
Photo-A-Day 2.0 – #00025

We’ve been in our place for almost 8 years now. When we moved in the dishwasher should have been replaced. It was not. Each year we said that we should replace it. We did not. The racks started falling apart and we should have replaced the dishwasher. We did not. Finally, it began to leak a few weeks ago and so Dad and I went to Lowe’s and picked up a new one. We went from a cream colored one to a stainless steel face and now there are two more appliances that are stainless steel and two that are not. When it comes time for us to put it on the market then it will be time to do the other two so that everything matches.

I did not get a photo of what the pipes under the sink looked like before our plumber re-plumbed the whole thing but they looked terrible. Now they are nice and new and much better looking. We had him do that because we also replaced the garbage disposal. Here is a bit of the before.

This is the piping that was taken out from beneath the sink.

Today I got home and went to sleep till I woke up to jack hammering across the street. I couldn’t get back to sleep so I went on over to the new house and helped Dad paint the living room. Then Dad painted the hallway and I did a few of the closets. We got a lot done over the past few weeks and tomorrow the floor guy comes. We’ve got a few rooms left to complete with touch ups. We’re very close to having all the painting done.

I added some more photos to our set of photos from the new house. You can see how the office turned out. I’m really happy with it.
