Progress is still slow on the kitchen but rather than making a huge push and burning out we're taking a more steady approach.
What's New... Well the back door is back in it's rightful place after a $200 + Electric/Gas bill I didn't think we could afford to wait any longer. Unfortunately I didn't get the frame completed like I wanted to so we'll need to take the door off the hinges again here when it gets warmer out to finish up.
I found matches for the vent covers that we have in the downstairs kitchen and bath. I'm not sure if they were original to the house or not but I think they are well suited anyways. I was able to get three but I'm still keeping my eye out for one more for the office so all of the downstairs will match. The one on the right is the original from our house and the shiny one on the left is one of the ones I got off of Ebay. I'm leaning strongly towards repainting the ones I got from Ebay as they have a little rust on them and they aren't quite the right color.
Also the kitchen has some new insulation and is missing a rather large swath of wall when the outlets and backsplash are going to go.
I am also looking into Veneer Plastering to fix the missing pieces of wall that we have obtained over the course of this project however I am having some difficulty coming up with materials in this part of the world. I have a call into a local plastering company I'm hoping that they will be able to point me in the direction of a supplier.
