Kitchen Reno: Week 4 Recap – We’re Floored!

We’re also cabinet-ed, but that statement doesn’t flow nearly as well nor is there a cool song to go along with it.

Monday was more drywall. Tuesday the hardwood floor was installed. Staining it will come later. Wednesday was a day off since the floor guys were so efficient. (So odd – and NICE – to have peace and quiet mid-week for a change.) Thursday the cabinets were delivered – giant carton party on the patio! And installation should be complete by end of day on Friday.

Whee! This is really starting to take shape. Check out the photos on the next page.

Overall this was an easier week to live through, except for the nail gun used by the floor guys that seemed to pierce my skull each and every time they squeezed the trigger. Luckily that was just one day and now we get to be amazed and delighted with our pretty new floor and cabinets. 

Week 5 will include final tweaks to the cabinetry (door pulls, shelves, etc.), installation of the appliances, and placement of the baseboard and toekick heaters. Tune in next week for another chapter.

Toekick heaters?
I know what a toekick is.
I know several definitions for "heater".
Toekick heaters?

We have a toe kick heater under the sink. It replaced a 500 lb radiator. It's great. It's basically a small flat radiator lying on it's side below the cabinet, with a blower which kicks in when the hot water is flowing.

Exactly right, Susie. Ours will be on the 'cooking' side of the kitchen, where there are no baseboards. We'll have control of whether it's on or off by using a power button that can be activated with just a touch of the toe.
