Journal swschrad's Journal: resume highlights: knocking holes in walls, cussing.
took a night off, back at it in the kitchen, carpet-bombing away. all the old formica backsplash is gone, along with countertops, and the walls backsplashed are also gone. only one outlet box left to convert to a double and space out far enough so the plugs and plates are even with the tile going on, not pushed forward with a half-inch of 10/32 nuts as spacers.
added two dual-duplex outlets where needed, and had to wire up a dishwasher circuit, which entailed knocking out a fair sized strip of ceiling in the basement for a wire run. not wired into the "arcwelder" yet, as electricians call FPE entrance panels, that's coming Real Soon Now as well. see http://www.inspect-ny.com/fpe/fpepanel.htm if you need that one explained.
the base sanding is done, and we're doing the 150-grit final stuff next several nights.
I have to do the "proof of concept" countertop, with oak inlay on the edges to be bevelled 45 degrees and revealed through the new formica pattern. this includes the 2-inch radius curved corners. then while the wife paints the insides of the old cabinets white, I can build the countertops.
hope to have running water and a sink again by next monday sometime. have to get a non-leaking solenoid valve for the drain on the dishwasher before it goes back in.
