[A/S] First remodel pictures (long)

["j54mark" <jmrdse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just added a new photo folder - 85 Sovereign remodel.  It has 
the photos of my nearly finished kichen cabinet.  Please allow me to 
give a tour:

Kichen1 shows the new counter, new endcap, new sink, new faucet, new 
2 burner stove, and a new (and badly needed) drawer.  The endcap is 
oak with wallpaper in the center to brighten up the lounge area.  The 
sink is a single bowl, but the actual bowl is larger than the old 
divided bowl area.  We can drop in a small dishpan and still have 
more room for rinsing than the old divided sink gave us.  The faucet 
is a Moen with one of those heads which pull out for rinsing.  The 
two burner cooktop is certainly adequate (the only time I have ever 
used more than two at a time at home was for a dinner involving 24 
guests.  This is not likely to arise in the trailer.)

That open space between the cooktop and the sink is called "counter 
space."  This is a new concept to us in the trailer, but we are 
adjusting to it nicely.  There is 13" between the cooktop and the 
sink, and about 5" more to the left of the cooktop.  I will make a 
sink cover when I get a chance to give even more counter space.

You can also just make out the new Alloc laminate floor.

Kichen2 shows the space for the 1.2 cu. foot microwave (not 
installed).  A convection oven would be nice, but I could not spring 
for the extra $300.  Below that is a 18" X 16" drawer.  This about 
tripled our kitchen drawer space.  The handle is not yet installed as 
I need to get one to match next time I am in Kansas City.

Kichen3 shows the nifty new upholstered insert in the upper cabinet 
that my wife made from leftovers when we had the couch 
reupholstered.  Note also that the spice cabinet, or whatever they 
called that thing with the roll up door, which used to be on the wall 
behind the stove is now gone.  We never used it, and by removing it I 
was able to set the cooktop back from the counter's edge for safety.

The bedroom cabinet needs only a door front, and the front room 
cabinet/folding table is yet to be assembled.  More as it becomes 
available.
