Ceiling is done and painted. Looks totes fab.
Top row of cabinets got installed yesterday.
Bottom row going in today along with the pantry cabinets.

Another week to trim it all out and I think we'll be there! Minus counter tops of course.

I'd be ok doing this. GFs home is a bit LOL in terms of upkeep and it hasn't been that bad at all. Certainly no front falling off. But home upkeep is pretty :waxer:

Home upkeep is crazy :waxer: There's very few benefits...however the ones that exist make it our only option. Mainly location (no rentals) and not dealing with people. Also, eventually it'll be paid off and living costs will be reduced significantly.

You can see 3 of the 4 wall colors/coverings that we found.
Blue painted wood paneling was the latest
Then green colored wood paneling
Then pepto bismol pink painted wallpaper
Then green leafy wallpaper

:disgust:

Ceiling is good. Drywall now. But we found:
Drop ceiling was the latest
Then pink tile
Then yellow plaster

lol...


To come: They will put a soffit over the top of the cabinets to cover the ugly. Cabinets will have end trim. Lower cabinets going in today along with under lighting.

Fucking tile. It's like a subway station in there :disgust:
And I think that decorative tile with the gourd looks like a swollen dong.

Subway tile is actually coming back. Infamous sends me a bunch of pinshit photos of kitchens with that tile now.

I don't mind it since it's cheap. :iono:

I'll give that a 2.5/7 solution.

But, @dgriff you have your :dong: grabbing frat house option.
Sticking with nomad... I spend maybe two nights a month at the PovMahal.
