Couple days late (it's Thursday now...but I just found the thread) but I spent Sunday working on a rental property I own, getting cabinets situated in the kitchen.
Before:
...and after placing the cabinets:
...as you can see, I need to add another row of tile to fit the fridge. But, it's a 1951 building and there's not a "standard" measurement in the place. I have to cut 2-1/4" of depth out of the cabinet by the range, so the sink base would center under the window next to the fridge. Not a level surface in the place, either - 4 cabinets took two full packs of composite shims. Once I get that cabinet cut down and installed this weekend, the counter guys come and measure, cut, and install the quartz countertop so I can do the sink and plumbing (rough-ins are there, just have to connect hot, cold, and drain).
There used to be a wall, where the tile transitions to hardwood - but it made for a stupid-small kitchen, and a stupid-small dining room, so I took it out and opened the space up. Gave a ton more light, too. And the kitchen used to have crappy vinyl flooring that I ripped out and replaced with the ceramic you see in the photos.
This (kitchen) is the last step. This is the upper level of an over/under duplex. I think it was originally single-family, and got converted to a duplex at some point - downstairs looks "right", but upstairs (especially the kitchen) looked cobbled together (to be polite). So far in the apartment I have: cut open all the walls and replaced every inch of wiring (knob and tube with cloth wrap wire doesn't pass code), replaced every outlet (GFI where needed), replaced every switch and fixture (all lighting is LED), and installed a new panel. I put the walls back together, sanded and painted. The bathroom vinyl got ripped out and replaced with ceramic mosaic floor tile, and ceramic subway tile 4' up the walls, and ceramic tile for the tub surround (on the original porcelain tub). I ripped all the crappy pine paneling out of the sunroom, insulated the walls, drywalled, trim, and added recessed LEDs. Put new hardwood in the sunroom as well, to update and cover the original (maybe asbestos) tile flooring. Put a full floor in the walk-up unfinished attic (it was exposed studs with insulation, and the occasional walk-board). Installed a heat pump and ducting. The only work I contracted out, was the heat pump, and the actual electrical panel install - everything else I did with my own 2 hands.
Hoping to have it available to rent this summer. Finally.
