More kitchen fun

Have you ever wondered what's behind your walls? Well neither have we, but we found out anyway. At first we weren't going to mess with the walls, cause we thought we could move the outlets without taking down the sheet rock. But we were wrong, and down the sheet rock came.

It took us most of the day, but we got all the electrical moved around, and then it was time to put the sheet rock back up.

And here's Gregg holding up the first sheet so i can take a picture. We really did have fun working together.

We got the last sheet up around 10 on Saturday night, and by that time the kids had had it. So we took them down the Sue's to get some sleep.

Once the kids were out cold I came up and taped and mudded the whole thing. It still doesn't look much like a kitchen yet but we're getting there.

Let it begin!

You all remember how we had a leak under our kitchen sink but we replaced our bathroom vanity instead? Well I finally got around to looking at the kitchen sink problem, and found that the leak had been so bad that it rusted threw the faucet and i couldn't get any of the water lines off. When we told Grandpa Coleman he said " Well lets just replace the whole kitchen!"

So that's what we're doing!

We start with our lovely model Brenix showing off our perfectly out dated and broken down kitchen in its original state.

Yes this is the actual size of kitchen we have been living with for the past 3 1/2 years, and boy was it fun ripping it out!

It only took me about 20 mins. to take out all the upper cabinets. I started by using a screw driver, but decided that a hammer was much faster and more fun.

But the real fun happened when i started to take out the lowers. I forgot to turn off the power and i arched a wire. If you haven't done that, I wouldn't suggest you try it. It hurts.

And this is what we are left with. No cabinets and a really dirty floor. It's been a real stress reveler to be able to destroy my own kitchen, But now that that's over, the real work will begin!

Spring in Idaho!

So the Pic's are a little bigger then i intended, but i guess it will have to work. This spring has been crazy with the whole Mother Nature thing. First it snowed, in late April.

Snowed alot!

So the kids and i figured we would just plant all our veggies inside. MaKayla and Brenix worked well together until they had to plant the pumpkins. There were just not enough seeds to keep World War III from braking out.

Despite the coldness, we have enjoyed going on walks as a family. Brenix got cold and asked to wear Dad's coat. We had a blast. I love this picture of my boys

It's been a crazy spring. I hope it warms up soon and stays warm!
