Kitchen remodel finally done after 4 months of weekends

3w ago1 min read

We finally finished the kitchen remodel and I am absolutely exhausted but also proud. Pulled out the old cabinets myself, refinished the hardwood, installed new counters and sink. Spent basically every Saturday and Sunday from March through June working on it while my wife watched the kids. It was way more work than I expected and I messed up a few times but we saved like 15k doing it ourselves instead of hiring it out. The kitchen looks great and the kids keep saying they like the new island. Worth it.

Dude, four months of weekend work on top of everything else? That's commitment. I'm exhausted just thinking about it, but the fact that you pulled out the cabinets yourself makes that accomplishment even better.

That's an impressive project to knock out. Refinishing the hardwood takes serious patience and skill. Your family's going to enjoy that kitchen for years.
