Finished Product

So it was supposed to be a simple project. I went to Home Depot to order new counter tops for our kitchen. I was informed that because of the age of our stove top that if I didn't replace it now and it broke later the new stove top would not fit in the same spot with the new counter tops. So I decided to buy a new stove top. However, the cost of a new stove top was the same as the cost of buying a new range and oven unit. So, why not? We went with the new complete oven. Also with the new counter tops it was a must to have all appliances in place that we wanted. When we bought the house there was no dishwasher and that is definitely on our "must have" list. So the dishwasher was also purchased. In order to make room for the new stove and dishwasher we would need a new sink too. Now the question was what to do with the space where the old oven was. We originally thought that we would just use some of the old cabinet doors that we were losing to make that space into cabinets, but in the end we thought it would be a better use of space to have more counter top space. In comes my Dad (Jack) to the rescue. He saved us a bundle by doing our remodel for us. And after two weeks of hard labor we have a finished product with only minor cosmetic things left to do. Thank you so much DAD!

We really feel it turned out beautiful and are so happy with our "new kitchen".
