Day #204
February 27, 2021 – Stopped at Sheetz in Duncannon for a hot coffee on the drive to the cottage. Today’s plan is to continue the kitchen paneling installation. Really, the only wall that needs to be covered is the end wall. It should be pretty easy to complete.
I continued the paneling installation on the left side of the kitchen end wall next to the window and I moved right towards the refrigerator space.
It’s pretty crowded in the kitchen. Two ladders, a bunch of base cabinets, tools, shop vac, materials and compressor hoses. Yikes!
Again, I left off the paneling above the base cabinets to allow for the installation of a ceramic tile backsplash. The paneling behind the refrigerator went all the way to the floor. There will be no ceramic tile in this area.
As the kitchen paneling continued Robrandi came back through and patched the nail holes getting ready for the final coat of paint.
At the end of the day I had the paneling installed on the end wall of the kitchen. Hoo raw! This pretty much finishes up the shiplap paneling in the kitchen. We cleaned everything up to take these photographs. I can’t wait to cook something in the room.
Tomorrow my plan is the begin the installation of 1/4″ Hardie Backer Board in the space above the base cabinets. Lowe’s in Lewistown has a good stock of this backerboard so I don’t have to run all over the state to find it.
Kitchen Paneling Continued…..done!
