Kitchen Remudel

I have posted anything new lately, as I'm in the throes of a major Kitchen remodel. Moved one wall 13" and taking the top half out of another. Actually, I finished putting up the stud walls today, both for a short one at 41" and another the full height of the room. But that is only part of the story as I had to move a lot of electrical service outlets. I also pulled the kitchen light switch out and put 2 three-ways in it's place. Part of the cupboards are down, with the remaining set waiting to be emptied. All of the upper cupboards need to come out so I can remove the soffits for the new cupboards, which are taller. Probably need to build a small step to get up to the higher shelves. Thrown out half of what was in a couple of cupboards cause it was old, some as far back as '89. While I know some people would use this stuff anyway, since I'm supposed to eat less, I might as well go for the better flavor. With any luck tomorrow I'll be getting some material to bring the additional floor space up to level, then add sheetrock to the walls. After that I may post a picture anyway. I still need to take the current ceiling texture down (embossed wallpaper) and scrap the popcorn of the roof in the dining and living rooms. At the last meeting of the Cascade Woodturners, Stuart Mortimer from England demonstrated how he turns spirals on the lathe. It was great to see such a gifted turner. While Stuart showed two traditional ways to create to spirals, he also showed the technique that he uses to get the job done quickly. I was indeed impressed. I will be attending the AAW Woodturning symposium next week in San Jose. And I'm looking forward to that. Enjoy, but be careful of the nails. Bill G.
