Nothing as big as this - sounds like it took A LOT of work, but I hope the final results were more than worth it because your kitchen looks pretty spectacular now! And you saved so much money doing it yourself! But yes, you guys deserve a long work break after this haha.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-91126203395589072172017-02-21T16:56:18.261-05:002017-02-21T16:56:18.261-05:00Thanks.

There are LOADS of YouTube videos online to watch. The woman at Lowe's said it was really easy and to save $$ and do it ourselves and it was.<br /><br />Each step (removal and installation of the cabinets) took about 1 full day with a few days in between for spackling/priming the wall to dry. But it was just that one corner. I'm sure a full size kitchen would take a lot longer.<br /><br />The floor was probably the worst. Removing the linoleum glue was a nightmare and took about 2 days of scraping and sanding to make it smooth for the new floor.<br /><br />Because we got granite counter tops and have really weird angles to deal with - we had to have them do the installation. We had installed the previous laminate counter ourselves and it was pretty easy. We did the sink/plumbing ourselves and that saved about another $500.<br /><br />I want to do our bathroom next but I don't think it's in the budget so I'm looking at painting the cabinets. I'm kind of nervous to do it though lolKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-21610758148370883752017-02-15T10:03:42.663-05:002017-02-15T10:03:42.663-05:00Did you hire an extra hand?

I've been researching for a similar remodel, just cabinetry and countertops, I think all we can do now is painting cabinets and spend money on new countertops.
