The Kitchen: Reno Day 10

Our last full day before going back to work was spent getting the kitchen to a point where we could use it to cook again and be able to move some stuff back in. To start Tom put a coat of sealer on the back splash grout and I caulked the edges. The outlet needed an extension piece due to the extra depth from the tile, so we switched it from a cream one to a white one at the same time.

The upper cabinets got a final coat of white paint, both inside and out. 

We recruited my brother and dad for help to move the fridge and stove back into the room. The stove just fit, honestly there is less that 1/8” clearance and I was so happy it fit after all the problems with the counter ends. 

In the corner cabinet, I installed the half circle lazy susan unit. This set was from Lee Valley; it came with brackets that screwed into a vertical post and 2 shelves that clipped into them. Installation was easy, the only issue was the screws that came with it; they were such bad quality that the head broke off when you tried to screw them in.

As you can see the cat came home today and gave her approval to the lazy susan. 

And now we know: my timeline for the kitchen was a little too ambitious. I wish we were a little further along before we had to go back to work but it is operational even without any cabinet doors.
