Ending and Beginning...

Our kitchen remodeling project has officially come to a close.  Time to start cooking!  

Our Contractor:  Dave McArdle, Bloomington, Indiana

The Burrow finally feels like it is officially ours!  

We are now ready to invite all the former owners here for a visit.  Next week we hope to have the most recent owner back for dinner.  She (and her husband) spent the longest time here...25 years.  After we have her over, then we'll contact the rest to have them come back and share their memories with us too.  In between time, I'll start hosting others here!  I can't wait!!!!!

Kitchen remodeling notes:  
True construction days:  26
Actual calendar days:  53
Holidays encumbered:  Thanksgiving and Christmas

Delays:  None
Perks:  Got to know a ton of very handy individuals, I would recommend them all, especially our contractor.

Lisa,

The kitchen looks great!

I just saw the pictures of the original kitchen with the old wallpaper, cabinets, floor and counter tops.

It looks so different and so much better now.

Have fun cooking and entertaining!

It's beautiful. I'm sure it is worth the inconvenience and waiting. Your contractor would be well advised to use your photos in a promo (sorry - can you tell I'm in advertising? Really, though, you have great before and after photos.) Isn't it great to have all that counter space?

Absolutely beautiful! Don't knock yourself out trying to "catch up" with all the baking and cooking you feel like you missed out on, but definitely enjoy it. :)
