We are in the process of having our kitchen remodeled and painting done in other rooms. The project started 2-18 and all should be completed Friday. Yesterday the guys repainted the paneling in our dining room and it was oil paint. Needless to say the fumes have left us a little light headed. Today they did the front door and finished up the shutters in the dining room--more fumes to inhale. We've got the windows open so hopefully that will help some. Last night I kept waking up to the smell.
The kitchen work included scraping off the popcorn ceiling, steaming off the wall paper, taking out the sink, and taking off the tile counter tops/back splash. It's fun to think of ways to improvise such as washing dishes in the bathroom sink and placing a card table on top of the counter after the guys leave so I can fix coffee in the morning.
I've got before pictures and when all is completed, I'll post those and the after pictures.
Mel thinks this is all a bit more primitive than camping in our camper. Maybe we should have put it up and lived out there for this 12 day project!

Chris,
When the kitchen is being remodeled, that's the perfect reason to eat out - take advantage of the opportunity.
Ohh... Home improvement! How I hate the mess, but love the results. You know, you really don't want to risk tracking DIY dust to your bedroom, so you should buy new clothes and shoes -- keep them in the camper. Can't wait to see the pictures!

It will all be worth it when done. Of course, lovely gormet meals should come out of the new kitchen from then on. Don't you have one of these?
That person stole Mother's
grinder--it's just like I remember it. I'll have to purchase it and make some HASH. No gormet in that dish!
