Countertops

Scott and I have been planning to replace the kitchen and master bathroom counter tops since before we moved into our house. The kitchen counter top replacement had many different parts to it, and we didn't get everything picked out to do it before we moved in. Then Scott broke his leg and things got put on hold for a while.

This week we finally pulled the trigger on the counter top project and I've had contractors in and out of the house all week taking out the old counters and tile and taking lots of measurements. We are supposed to get our new counters installed in a week or so, but in the meantime, we've got this. Because of the nature of the counters, we have to have our old ones ripped out to take super accurate measurements before they can get our new ones cut. So we will be without for a while.
Here is the kitchen after the tile and drywall were ripped out, but before the counter tops were taken away. Baby steps.

And here they are without counter tops, but with the new drywall in.
The dishwasher keeps tipping 'cause its not attached to anything at the moment.

Scott says it shouldn't be too hard for us to adjust to no counter space since that's about how much we had in Okinawa. And he's right. It's not that bad. :) Plus this is only temporary.

Here is the kitchen before everything was ripped out.
Goodbye green and white tile.

One of our contractors (who was awesome!) brought in a big piece of plywood for our sink to sit on while we wait for the counters. I thought that was nice of him, otherwise we would have no sink. Hmm, maybe this natural wood look is good enough for our new counters. It would definitely be cheaper and easier to install. :)
