The Evolution of a Kitchen (& Bathroom)...

For those of you that did not see the "Spider Ranch" before my parents, Diana, and I fixed it up, you sure missed a lot. There was a family with kids that lived in it before and I honestly don't know how they survived. The place was falling apart, there were holes in the walls, and it looked like it hadn't been taken care of in years.

Well, a couple years later, it has been changed dramatically with the big help of my parents; and work done by Diana and myself. During my Christmas vacation, I decided to get some more work done on our house. Since we have lived in it, there has never been any doors or drawers in the kitchen or the bathroom. For the longest time, we really thought that was normal and never thought about fixing it. Now that we have, NEVER again will we live without doors or drawers!

I spent several days putting trim, building doors, and building and rebuilding drawers for our kitchen and bathroom. This is how it turned out...

This is the kitchen before we did any work on the house.

This is the kitchen after putting sheet rock.

Here is the kitchen cabinets that we had for the longest time before the work.

It is amazing what you can do with your own hands!
