New Year, new beach house kitchen

We started the New Year with a proposal and then once everyone cleared out we started out beach house remodel

We started by gutted the existing 90’s kitchen. It was basically a little square before with outdated appliances and the laundry was on the right by those ugly bi-fold doors.

Andy started pulling all those useless soffits down (nothing in them) to open up the area. Busted out the penisula.

We had a gas line installed so we could convert our electric range to gas and also our wood burning fireplace to gas. We loved having fires in the fireplace but our chimney was starting to have issues and to have your house catch on fire on an island is really really scary. We have a fire department but if it spreads they have to bring more firetrucks over from the mainland (this happened a couple years ago when a house we previously stayed in burned down)

Pete took roost on the new fridge

Made lots of fave foods

And then we are back to animals

Back to the island to check on the kitchen progress

The marina at night is so pretty

We saw a rocket launch on our way over

Tile day

Evening walks

And then back home to Chapel Hill. Dinner on Franklin St

And time on the porch

Still doing weekly zoom calls with the family

And the girly on a computer game with her cat

And that wrapped up January!
