It was 3.5 weeks of pounding, dust and living in the family room BUT it's done, the full kitchen is finished. Technically, Ryan reminded me the entire remodel took 18 days since we can't count the weekends, that's pretty good. We would highly recommend our contractor. His workers were wonderful to work with. I will admit working from home twice a week and being available to answer/guide 100 questions is key. We inspected every night and if there was anything we didn't like we let them know and they fixed it.
So, here it is...
