Kitchen remodel

It's been so long since I wrote a post I don't even want to try to catch you up on what's been going on since the last one.
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.
