But I do want to document the kitchen renovations since I don't want to forget the little details down the line. and I should probably start with documenting the construction (although this is probably something I'd rather forget)
I have determined that our house is a 1920's Bungalow style house. The entire thing is plaster/lath construction with next to zero insulation. Next year we'll be replacing all the windows and insulating from the outside and replacing the siding. I'm think the kitchen was probably changed around in the 70s or 80s since there was drywall behind the little bit of cabinets and that's about how old the fridge and stove look.
Here's what we started with as far as kitchen cabinets...
1st weekend - demolition
plaster/lath removal in the sun porch area and off the load bearing wall
2nd Weekend - Demolition (this time, we meant business! haha)
We took the entire sun porch off the house and rebuilt it except for the roof.
Saturday:
Windows removed
Outside wall removed
Outside wall rebuilt
Sunday
Window openings fremed and sheething installed
Monday
Windows installed
3rd weekend - Insulation (didn't take pictures)
4th weekend - Demolition
The remaining plaster/lath was removed from the old kitchen.

View from the back wall where the table will be looking to where the stove will be

View from the door corner looking to where the sink will be
Loving the sunrise :)
