Over the last week, i started to remodel my mothers kitchen. The overall impact of the new design will be dramatic. we first started by building a pantry in the area that was origianally intended for a breakfast nook but that really didn't work out so well for my parents. after that was completed she was able to move all her food items in there so we could do some much needed demolition. We removed around 20 lineal ft of wall that opened the kitchen up to the dining room and living room, what a difference the open space is really great. All of the electrical has been moved and relocated and all of the old flooring has been removed down to the sub floor, also i have begun to install sheetrock in the needed areas. next week i will begin building the soffit extention, finish sheetrock, level the floors out and tape and coat the drywall. Soon we will be able to install flooring and primer and paint. Next post i will have photos.

Tough Times

I Really dont know what to do next? I have been looking high and low for some work but it has become very difficult to find, It is like someone let the water run for too long and the well dried up. I am trying to stay positive about the situation but this is unreal. The sad part is all my friends and colleagues in this industry are fighting the same battle. I hope everyone keeps working and staying strong because that is the only way out.
