Well I have to say it…but so far…the kitchen and bath remodeling has been…going fabulously!!! It is going faster than I ever anticipated. When demolition began, I had 90% of the items picked out and many ordered. After a couple of days, I was actually in a bit of a panic to hurry up and …
Three days of having the crews at my house and they are almost done with the demolition of the kitchen and bathroom. It has been relatively painless. They are moving along so quickly that I got a little nervous that I better hurry up and order the rest of the plumbing, lighting and the range …
