The badly needed kitchen renovation of my New York City apartment continues into day eight. I continue installing our new cabinets from Ikea in the new space.

Here’s today’s progress report:

The remainder of this project will revolve around installing the cabinets, finishing trim details, and hooking up the plumbing and appliances. I’ve got one more day before I have to go back to work. After that, things will slow down a bit as I finish things after hours (but hopefully I’ll be able to rest up a little.)

The badly needed kitchen renovation of my New York City apartment continues into day seven. I’ve been at it one full week now and today I began installing our new cabinets from Ikea in the new space. Oh, and the appliances arrived from Sears.

The appliances arrived promptly at 8am:

The installation work goes much slower than all the rest of the prep. The hand plastered walls in an older New York City apartment are never square or level, so there are lots of little tweaks and adjustments that need to be made in order to fit everything together. But, things are finally coming together.

Here’s today’s progress report:

Tomorrow the installation work continues.

The Go-To Guy!
