Adventures in kitchen remodeling
So ... after 19 years in this house, we finally reached the point where we had had enough of this old kitchen. It had been re-done about 10-15 years before we bought the house, with rather cheap cabinets and a not-great layout, and was not holding up well.
Since it seemed like some folks might be interested in what's happening, or at least might get a schadenfreude chuckle out of our "adventure", here are some pics. Before:

Anyone want some slightly-used cabinets? Cheap!

Demo is always the most fun. You tearing off to the studs, or trying to reuse the drywall/ plaster? And if you have any noisy floor issues, now if the time to install new sheathing that gets glued and screwed, and has interlocking joints.
Looking forward to following this one.

They are going to put wood-look tile "planks" on the floor in the kitchen and dining room. The subfloor is actually wood planks run diagonally over the floor joists with a 1/8" gap between them (house was built in 1958). We didn't have any floor squeaks before; hopefully we won't have any afterward.

That estimate of the timenis 90% right. 90% of a remod takes 3 weeks. The second 90% takes another month or so. The last 10% another month or so.

When I was still working (recently sold the business), I'd tell clients to double and add 10% to any time/money estimate from a contractor. Not that all contractors do this, but enough do that this formula becomes pretty accurate.
