The pace of my contractors’ work continues to amaze me. They have finished rerouting the gas line in the combined pantry, furnace and laundry closet. The new pocket door providing access to this room is in place. And the tile floor is over 50% done.
The only cause for concern is the wall tile I am planning for the wall behind the oven and hood. I was just informed by the tile store that it will not be available until mid-June. This weekend my friend Antonio and I will search for a replacement to try and keep the project on track for a April 9 finish.
Now the pictures:
Looking good.
Show that gas line who’s boss.
It occurred to me this is “nesting” behavior. Trying to attract a long term mate who will spend a lot of time in the kitchen?
Just curious, have you done any of the work yourself? I know you’re pretty busy with work so I’d guess not.
Try to save some extra tiles so you can replace them when you drop your stein on them and they crack.
Yeah, I have done work like this before. With the help of my girlfriend, I did my downstairs bathroom last year:

A bathroom is a little easier than a kitchen, of course. But there was significant tile work needed to fix up the bathroom and its adjoining foyer. It was that experience that taught me the value of hiring a contractor.
