We Have Running Water in the Kitchen!

As we join the continuing story of Ye Olde Broken Down House, we recall that our heroes had found a massive water link under the kitchen sink. Not only did they shut off the water to the kitchen, they also tarped off that side of the house so that mold removal & remediation could be done without endangering the residents of the house. 

Our heroes were able to replace the cabinet under the kitchen sink last weekend. This weekend, the challenge was to bring running water to the kitchen. 

Now, let us join the saga already in progress:

We found a sink that covered the existing hole in the counter. It looks funny when its not in the cabinet, doesn't it?

The sink was carefully lowered into place, and properly sealed to prevent water damage to the cabinet. 

Look at that back splash. Seriously, we really need to do something with it. It doesn't look good.  I also need to paint that windowsill.

The pretty new sink with the pretty new faucet!  You turn on the faucet, and water comes out & doesn't leak!

You know there's a catch here, right?  There's a leak in one of the new pipes. Husband is diligently tracking down the source of the leak. While I've kind of enjoyed the experiment, he really wants to be able to use the sink in the kitchen again!  (Picky, picky, picky)

I'm now eyeing that back splash. We really need to do something about that.  It did not weather the counter top lifting well. I also REALLY need to paint the windowsill.  I didn't realize how bad it was until I started looking at the pictures.

Hey, Property Brothers, we still have a massive problem in the form of our hallway bathroom that needs to be dealt with!  Seriously, that project has been a thorn in our sides for 8 years.  I'd love to have somebody who knows what they're doing step in to help us fix that!

Our budget for this home repair was $1500.
