Kitchen Bar

The final touches are now in place - Need to build a Bar for the kitchen. To save money I made the wood frame and laid some Black Tile from a past project.





The black give it a classy look.

Bathroom floor is almost ready for tiling

Thanks to a product called LevelPlus I have the bathroom ready for tiling. A little sanding and the tiles are ready to lay down.

Faux Painting and prepping the bathroom floor

Using a great tool called the Woolie and 2 colors of Satin Enamel Paint and what do you get? Faux Painting!

Here is the website if you want to do your own Faux Painting.

Here is another view - No more medicine cabinet - Just a new wall.



The bath tiles are nice a new again.




Here is another view of the new window.




Now on to the floor - Prepping required before I can layout the tile.

Almost done with the First Bathroom

I had the old tiles cleaned and reinstalled.

Now to wait 24 hours - Next is grouting!


I also took out the old window and installed an new "double-pane" window.
See how the ceiling looks with Popcorn? Well now it's all gone!!!
The ceiling got a facelift - No more popcorn!!

Bathrooms and Hammers

While I'm partially done with the kitchen - I will shift tasks and start getting the first bathroom preped. Lots of demolition to start.

The tile needs some repairs. Those old tiles need to be salvaged before I can re-installed them.




Yanked out the old medicine cabinet - I'm going to repair the wall and check into re-texturing the entire bathroom. We'll see.


Starting to remove the old "popcorn" and trying a little "mopping" with some of the plastering from my living room project.

More work - after the wedding!!!

I am back from the wedding and a wonderful honeymoon in South Carolina. Now to finish the countertop for the kitchen.

Thanks to the folk at Lowe's I got these wonderful pre-formed counter-tops. Nice huh?


Of course, they need a little bit of trimming and then I need to add the end-caps.

The corner pieces also need to be bolted together to complete the tops.




Here is the finished work - At least one part of it. Like it?

Finishing touches to the new flooring

After many hours of bending my back and getting worn out knees, I'm finally getting to the finer touches.

A rendering of the new kitchen

Here is a 3D Model of what the kitchen will look like? What do you think?

Tile and more Tile!!! Now to the Kitchen

Well - We are starting to see some results. Kitchen is almost done - YEAH!!!
Nice huh!?
This little tile-cutter is indispensible!!

Another Helper and the Tile!!!

Look at this helper - Mom is great!!! Getting the floor prepared for the tile work.

Now for the Tile Work!!!

First you need to line up some tiles and make your Baseline - I used a chalk line to help with the initial setup. Nice Red and Bright!!

Now I dry-set a couple of tiles to see how everything would look before getting the mortar ready.

After 4 hours we got a good start. What do you think so far?

More kitchen cabinets to install and layout tiles

The sink cabinet needed a little work in getting it properly installed.





Starting to layout the tiles to see how they will look. This is a dry layout.

My New Helper!! - Can you Believe it?

Call Ripley's Believe It or Not? - My New Helper - Wanda!!! Wow!!

Look at this helper - What a quick study - Never held or seen a hammer until now!!!
