Rehab 4470 - Ready for the kitchen cabinets to be installed

We finished painting the kitchen in anticipation of the kitchen cabinets being installed tomorrow (Monday).  Overall we really like the color which is the same as the bedrooms.  We've used this color a lot and it seems to be pretty popular with the buyers.  We added some graffti to the wall where the cabinnets will be installed for posterities sake.

We also picked out some 18 x18 tile at Home Depot for less than $1 / ft.  The savings should cover the thin set and the grout that we'll need.  In total looks like we'll need about 1000 sq ft of tile = lots of weekends = sore back.   The tile has a smooth edge which makes it harder to hide the problems if there's any problem with the adjacent tile.  This can happen sometimes if the floor is not level and after jack hammering up the old grout I would not be surprised to find a few surprises when the tile starts to go in next weekend.  I'll check for low spots and float them before I start with the tile.

We also got the Master bedroom painted with minimial touchup to finish it off after repairing the walls from the border around the ceiling.  The master bath still needed some more joint compound following the first good sanding.  The Jack hammer got the rest of the linoleum off the floor so its looking ready for tile.  The linoleum in the second bathroom came up with minimal work.

The front yard is also shaping up with two of the three stumps out and the holes filled.  I also came up with the brillant idea to move the pygmy dates near the street to the places where I dug up the small trees in the front flower bed.  This will save money!!

More next time - happy rehabbing!
