    ~ My first home, my first project. (not 56k friendly)

    Well it's been forever, but I haven't really done much. Lost momentum once I moved in, main floor and upstairs are pretty much finished, I just need to paint a few more things and buy some appliances. Here is how my kitchen/cabinets/countertops came out:

    I ordered my cabinets from Menard's, I actually have no idea what brand they are, I just discussed the build, woods, finishes etc and got the brand that best suited what I needed. And they came in this week! So you'll definietely see some more progress this weekend. I'm dreading doing my...

    Lol, I'm getting addicted to photo stitching, it makes indoor shots more fun to share and gets things into perspective. That picture was actually composed of 10 different shots, and it still came out far from perfect. and I actually moved in this week! My makeshift bed is composed of an...

    Thanks, yes it's a tube light, it actually take two but one was bright enough! I do want to switch it out for a warm bulb, this cool lighting actually makes me feel somewhat sick to my stomach, idk what it is.

    Quick shot of the grouting in the kitchen done, patching on the walls complete, and painted: Did a much better job grouting this than the upstairs :) .

    This is where I'm at, we need to grout this weekend and maybe tear out the rest of the bath while I wait for my cabinets and countertops to come in. Forgot to add; If you ever install a new door CHECK THE FLOOR CLEARANCE!!!!! We had to uninstall the door you see in the kitchen and re-install...

    We've torn our the kitchen and bathroom floor, fixtures, etc. Doing a complete remodel for the kitchen but still undecided on the bathroom. The only things I would keep would be the tub/tile.

    We've done the transition peces for the floor on the main floor and upstairs, and finally started on the kitchen. Took everything out, and am going to patch up the walls and tear out the five layers of old floor that it has. This would be the kitchen and bath as they are, as well as the...

    Spent a few weeks in Mexico for work so that set back my progress. Here is what's new: Laminate and Trim down in the upstairs bedroom: Door, trim, and tile for the bathroom:

    If you aren't going for looks I don't see a problem using used stuff, assuming it's in good condition. The biggest headache is going to be the sewage plumbing and supply lines for your water. It all seems easy until you start fitting pipes in cramped areas. That will also be the most expensive...

    Sure do, one of the lights is a Vent/Light combo

    And I had a change of heart on lighting and did a track light with warmer bulbs in the living room: That about sums it up, next weekend I'll be finishing up the carpet and grouting the tile.
