It definitely was an adventure.
The idea came because we had my husband's family coming for Thanksgiving - 6 adults and 4 kids (plus us) in our little house. We realized that we didn't have a lot of usable kitchen space to make a big dinner, so why not rip out the kitchen, throw it on the back deck, and put up new cabinets, countertop, and a new sink. Yes....why not....
When we finally ripped everything out, we realized that the entire wall behind the sink had serious water damage, and it moved...the whole wall, with the window. Thanks to a friend (who is also a carpenter), we were able to fix the wall, and install the cabinets (which were a great deal from Home Depot - but they don't come with bases or the top part for the countertop to rest on, so you have to know what you are doing!), and get the sink and faucet in.
Ah yes, the sink....two sinks later and numerous trips to hardware stores to speak with people who probably shouldn't be working in plumbing sections, we finally had a sink that fit (we had to go with a sink and a half), and the kitchen was usable again. Much thanks for all the hard work my husband put into it! There is still a lot left to do in there, but at least it is usable space now :)
And Thanksgiving was wonderful!
