During week
6 of our renovation, our workers started into the painting of the kitchen and
balconies, finalizing the kitchen cabinets and hardware, installing
under-counter lighting, finishing all the new electric outlets and the final
polish of our beautiful black granite. I could see the end of our construction
ordeal coming to an end and two weeks under estimate. WOW!
Remember that
we had a total kitchen demolition and rebuild including moving plumbing and
replacing the kitchen sink and faucet to an entirely new location, new custom
–made kitchen cupboards and pantry doors, new electrical outlets, an existing
door closed, a new door archway opened up, the entire kitchen painted along
with the installation of granite and backsplash, a wall demolished and the
door, wall, electrical, and doorbell moved 15’ further out as well as new
floors throughout our 2100 square foot condo plus another 300 square feet of
balconies, new balcony doors in three different locations plus most of our
windows replaced. And all in six weeks!
A huge thank
you to our contractor Mike Gibbs and his amazing crews. They showed up on time
every day at 8AM and worked until 5:30PM except for weekends- condo rules no
weekend work- and came in on budget. As well, after every day they cleaned up
their daily work area and at the end of the six week period, did a total
apartment cleanup. We couldn’t be happier with their work and our now amazing
condo. All that is left to do is getting the rest of the condo painted which
will happen at the end of this month while we are in the Galapagos. For now we have our apartment and life back.
Here are
some pictures of the rebuild.
First our
amazing new kitchen designed, with much input from Uwe, by yours truly
The new bar
area in our kitchen- do I hear martinis?
Our
redesigned pantry- enormous!
Our
beautiful new floors throughout picked especially because they will never show
dirt!
Our new PVC
balcony doors ( we have three balconies)
New windows in kitchen, living room and sound-proof windows in master bedroom all with PVC
Glad to hear it! Here's hoping you're enjoying your lives out there. Windows and doors should be optimized to make the stay, well, homey. Seems that's what you did. The only thing missing now is curtains.

Nice! I love the look of your house. It looks so spacious, which is how I like a house to be, since it gives you more than enough room to move around. The designs are also minimal without being boring. Great job with the renovation!
