First, the roof is finished and passed the final inspection! No more leaks!
The old giant dumpster was officially overflowing and was switched for a new slightly smaller one. The upstairs was cleaned up and the black spray paint removed from the windows. And there was a ton more lathe and plaster removal in the kitchen, including exposing the other beam on the living room side of the room. We also finished reframing the kitchen floor and closed in the big side window.
Now, about that kitchen...
Ok, so it's not the strongest cabinetry and I would not try putting anything hot down or spilling but our free kitchen was an important step in the planning. The LA Film School just got a bunch of new furniture and all of the giant cardboard boxes that the stuff came in was available for pick up for free. So what do you get when you have an idea, a bunch or cardboard and a lot of packing tape?
A free kitchen!
This was a great experiment as we were able to modify the design and move around the space exactly as it will be. We already decided to get rid of the multi level island and some of the cabinets over the fridge. With the real size and space laid out we could also see how the light came into the room and figure out where we want our lights and outlets.
I was also able to construct a mock bathroom this weekend so we could finalize our design since the plumber and electrician star on Monday.
Last night I also made the light switch and outlet layout.
Off to bed now...very tired. More to come soon!
