Kitchen and a little behind the scenes!

So the kitchen/master closet/ bathroom extravaganza is totally underway. So that means....my house is blown apart my babies are living in chaos and every spare minute of my husbands life is spend WORKING on this shit box. Don't get me wrong there are days we love doing this...but this house has not NOT been as much fun as our first when we didn't have children running around....and we got to do a lot more of the work together.

Either way we are making progress...slowly but surely and hopefully by this time next week the dust will be clearing out.
Here are a few pictures of the progress going on....its showing signs of improvement kind of....
Our rockin new years party....

That WAS the kitchen.

That WAS the hall bath...its going to be the master bath just off the walk in closet we added.

Kitchen all insulated!

The kitchen as it sits today! (and yesterday...and the day before!)

This is progress people....when people do these transformations they show the before the after sometimes some in between but leave out all of the ugly details...I'm just gonna throw some out there in case there are those who think they might want to tackle this or something like it.

IT BLOWS!
We tore our out kitchen people that means no kitchen sink...we also tore out a bathroom that means NO bath tub as the other one just has a shower. I have two small children..the younger of the two HATES showers! Awesome!

We only have one bathroom...and loads of dirty workers in and out of it...my dream white tile looks terrible.

I seriously do not enjoy a bathroom kitchen combo...I don't like dishes where I shower and I dont like to wash dishes where I potty....the whole thing is making me nuts.

This is a very old house...very old prior to us living here it was empty for we think two years...we never really used the new bathroom much until we tore the old one out...now we know there were roots in the line. It has backed up twice...wouldn't be a problem IF we had two bathrooms but we tore one out....so that was terrible. It is now fixed cross our fingers! ;)

Its cold here in Prescott. It snows sometimes we are lucky that its normally gone by noon the next day. We tore our kitchen walls out....just in time for a giant storm and a boat load of snow that decided to stay FOREveR! After several weeks with NO insulation in the center of our home.....I was ready to give up. It might be true I almost cried when Banker insulation pulled in front of the house!

There is more much more that has gone into this like the plumber that took 4 extra days and thought bringing his 3 kids would be cool...one complete with stomach flu...or the tree that fell on the house during the storm.

Will it all be worth it? I really hope so...I hope that it will not only be worth it but my husband will forgive me for falling in love with such a piece of crap (the house just to clarify!)!
