The first coat...

After church on Sunday Bryce and I started preparing the kitchen for the major sanding down of all the cupboards. Here is the kitchen all covered in plastic, blocking off the rest of the house. It worked pretty well, although everything still needs dusted, most of the dust was contained to the kitchen.

This picture was supposed to show you all the dust on the counters, floor, everywhere, but as you can see there is so much dust in the air you can hardly see the kitchen!
It took 22 of these little round sanders to get the job done...
Here's how it looked after the dust settled and everything had been sanded:
All the furniture covered in plastic:

And this is how it looked last night after I had laid contact paper and started putting things back in the cupboards. And, this is how they look after the first coat of clear-coat! They look fantastic (at least I think so)! Two more coats to go in here and the Bryce will start on the cupboard doors. Those will take a little longer since both sides need clear coat and he will have to let one side dry before doing the other side.

The kitchen is starting to get back to order, at least enough that I have a little counter space and I am almost done putting stuff away from the bedrooms. Only a few more nights and everything should be back the way it was. Hopefully by the end of next week we will have the hinges and can put the doors back up!
