RojoLoco gets a new kitchen....
-
Some of you already know, but I'm having my kitchen redone / enlarged significantly. The construction started way sooner than I was expecting, so I didn't get any good "before" shots, but I'll be posting progress and details here as we go.
And probably some questions too. I'm way too excited about it already, and I haven't even picked a faucet or sink yet.Here is a pic of what got done yesterday:

@RojoLoco nice, congrats

Is that a window or door opening... (I'm not builder or building inspector,... but) -

And that is why I’m asking… but …

@gjacobse @Dashrender that will be a big window with counter top along that wall. Probably going to put chairs / stools there for dining. And I don't think all of this portion is done yet.

If it's not done yet,.. I'm cool with that. But having been around and doing enough framing - I know it's isn't completed. .. But again - I'm no builder or building inspection. I just understand the basics of gravity and framing.

A few pics, probably out of order, but they show the progress...

1st pic here is the (ripped out) exterior wall of the current kitchen.

Just talked to the contractor, we are on schedule for granite countertop installation Monday!!! Which means we are looking at maybe Wednesday to start moving back into the kitchen!
Also, stand by for photo dump...

Any particular reason why you picked granite or was it the look that settled it?

Granite is really durable, my girlfriend bakes a lot, and it grows wild in the mountains north of here. So price and availability play into that as well. We looked at some quartz (cultured), it was nice but was only available in different shades of white. The color we're getting is a nice cool gray and white, called "Luna Pearl".
