We have officially been out of our house and conducting our kitchen area renovation for 4 weeks now. In this time, the amount of money of development that our GC has created is fairly amazing. Our contractor (who we made use of for my mom’s kitchen area – which you can go through all about in this article, if you’d like), mentioned it would acquire 5-6 months to total. I was admittedly skeptical, but it’s seeking like we’re more or fewer ideal on monitor.

Hardwood flooring is going in as we converse, our flooring have been levelled, and the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical is finish. Nevertheless every thing is on the right observe, it isn’t to say that our kitchen renovation did not come with its honest share of surprises together the way.

You may possibly bear in mind me mentioning that our kitchen area used to slope drastically. So a lot so that I utilized to have to strategically place my eggs or they would roll of the counter, hah. So we realized something was likely on with the a person back corner of our property. When we opened up the room to examine, on the other hand, we uncovered that a substantial section of the back wall of our home had virtually been washed away over the many years. There was legitimately a huge gaping hole, wherein our flooring joist was just floating in the air, not tied into a point.

Our contractor did not pass up a conquer and it luckily hasn’t delayed a point.

In addition to that exciting discovery, we also uncovered a comprehensive height basement area down below our kitchen. We ended up usually told that the kitchen area was an extension and that it was built as a slab on the existing quality. Meaning there is no basement under, so this was brand new info. I’m absolutely persuaded it is the place the ghosts cling out. I signify, our residence is 130 many years aged after all. It was a rather appealing discovery and though the room is at the moment unaccessible, we do have the prospective to open it up from down below. It’s a thing we may perhaps discover more one particular day. A total new room! Who understood! But also, I have so quite a few concerns. Why is it boarded up? Do I even want to know… I’m also now curious as to what else our home is hiding.
