6.30am Monday morning I frantically raced around the house as quietly as I could, moving a few more things before the builders rock up and the chaos began.
BJ and I have been wanting to replace the oven and redo our floors since we bought the house and we couldn’t do one without the other if we wanted it to look mint at the end so after I found my dream oven on sale our dreams of renovating very quickly became reality.
We decided if we were going to do these two things we should do everything else kitchen related done as well.
Did I mention that when I found my dream oven on sale I also found my dream fridge on sale? Both with cashback offers as well and long story short, I needed a dishwasher that would match and in the end the cashbacks paid for the new dishwasher.
Day 1 - The first layer of floors and part of the second was ripped up. We had 4 layers for those playing at home. The kitchen island and the dishwasher were also ripped out
Day 2 - More flooring got ripped up. We could see some of the sub floor. The skirting boards all came off and so did the kitchen wall tiles
Day 3 - the last of the flooring was finally ripped up and the subfloor was prepped
Day 4 - the new hardwood started getting laid. The old oven and stove were ripped out. The kitchen stone benchtop got cut to fit the new oven and sink and I sold our old dishwasher
Day 5 - A whole day of laying the new floor
Day 6 - There back, back, back again! Finished off laying the floor today and putting on all the new skirting boards
Next week we have a lot less dust and a lot less noise. The plumber, electrician and tiler will all be out to do there part. In the evenings BJ and I will be painting all of the skirting boards before the dust gets turned up to 11 and the floors get sanded the following week. Pin It
