Another big day of progress on my kitchen remodel

All the upper cabinets are installed, I started working on the base cabinets, installed the microwave, and got the stove in place. The microwave is working, and things are finally starting to look like a real kitchen!

I did run into a little issue with the blind corner cabinet. It doesn’t reach all the way into the corner, leaving about an 8-inch gap. Not a huge deal since the dishwasher and countertop will cover most of that area, but I think a 39 or 42-inch cabinet might have worked better. I have a plan to cover the gap with plywood for a cleaner look, although it’s not really necessary.

Tomorrow I’ll finish the remaining base cabinets, install the toe kicks, touch up some scratches, clean up all the dust, and get everything ready for the granite countertops. The countertop templating and installation are scheduled, so we’re getting closer!

Every project has a few surprises, but that’s part of the process. Follow along as I finish this kitchen remodel and share the progress, challenges, and solutions along the way!

Shoes piling up at the door? I installed two wooden shoe racks in our entryway closet to fix it. Wood felt sturdier than expandable metal racks.

📏 Tip: measure your closet first and leave side clearance so the racks slide out easily.

The kitchen is FINALLY coming back together!

After all the work from the water damage, I finally installed the kitchen faucet, garbage disposal, and dishwasher.

The new granite countertop is in, everything is hooked back up, and I can finally use my kitchen again!

There’s only one major thing left… the backsplash!

It’s been a long process, but seeing the kitchen this close to finished makes it all worth it.

Would you tackle the backsplash yourself or hire it out? 👇

Pigeons nesting under solar panels are a massive headache.

While I installed netting around mine, my neighbor got help from an unexpected predator, a Cooper’s Hawk!

Watch it drop like lightning right in my driveway to take care of the pigeon problem.

My 1 HP garbage disposal died, and I quickly remembered how HEAVY these things are! 😳

Trying to hold a heavy garbage disposal under the sink while removing or installing it can be a real struggle, and dropping it could damage your cabinet.

💡 So I tried something different: the car jack from my vehicle!

I placed it underneath the disposal, lifted it into position, and let the jack do the heavy lifting while I worked on the mounting ring. It made removing the old one MUCH easier.

I used the same trick to help install the new garbage disposal.

Full step-by-step installation video is now on my YouTube channel!

I used a PVC reaming tool to clean up the glued PVC fittings and finish my kitchen sink plumbing without having to cut into the wall! 🙌

A simple plumbing cleanup made the difference, and now the sink plumbing is clean, secure, and DONE!

This under-sink cabinet had some serious water damage from a leak Instead of replacing the entire cabinet, the damaged section of the base was cut out and rebuilt around the two drain pipes.

Slats of particle board were used to work around the plumbing, with 4x4 wood supports underneath to hold everything in place.

Is this the way you would have repaired it, or would you have replaced the entire cabinet? 👇

Installing a bathtub? Don’t skip this step! 🔨🛁

Before installing your tile or surround panels, the tub needs to be properly anchored to the wall studs and checked for level.

The American Standard tub I’m installing came with both plastic and metal anchors, so you can choose the option that works best for your installation. The key is placing the anchors directly over the studs and securing the tub with screws.

Some installers use a board along the wall and screw the tub fl**ge into the studs, there’s more than one way to get the job done.

The most important part: make sure that tub is perfectly level before moving on!
