Here's the Kitchen 'before' photo from last year when we bought the house - along with the 'work in progress' photos. My dad is the most helpful person in the world when it comes to this whole home improvement thing. Tighe and I would be pretty lost as to how to do all this work without my 'Electrician, carpenter, project manager , jack of all trades Dad - Jeff Sougnez. I also need to thank a few others for their help so far - namely Ron 'Pa' Olsen, and my sisters husband Brian for their hard work knocking down walls and installing our patio door a few weekends ago. Thanks for the help everyone!
