We live in an old farmhouse - vintage 1860s-70s. I decided to replace the windows in the kitchen. Decided I might as well replace the door also. Found the sill under the door wasn't too good, so I replaced it, also. Siding didn't look so good after all that, so it got replaced. Decide that since I had to trim the windows inside, it would be a good time to insulate the walls. Took down all the interior wall surface on two walls, insulated, then drywalled those. Ran some new wiring while I was doing that. New walls/doors/windows on two sides made the rest look shabby... Tore out the cabinets, counter, and sink. Decided it was probably a good time to remove the old chimney that wasn't used anymore and free-up some space on one wall. Removed it, patched in the slate roof so it looks good and sheds water. Put several hours into patching the ceiling and fixing some cracks. Got the idea to relocate the sink to a spot about 3 feet from where it had been and open up part of one wall into the office area. That accomplished, the idea struck that since there'd never be a better time to work on the floor, I leveled it some, and put down new subfloor and tiles. Painted the whole room. Installed new cabinets, counterspace, and sink. Did lots of wiring and plumbing. Decided the kitchen really needed three more circuits, so I ripped out the old electrical panel and put in a new 200 amp box, meter base, and down-feed from the lines to the house.
At this point, there is NOTHING in the kitchen that isn't new EXCEPT the stove and refrigerator.
There still isn't any inside trim on the windows, and I'm not starting ANY new projects until there is!
