Today, I spent a little time contemplating what to do about this kitchen... A tiny 10 x 10 space, poorly laid out, and straight out of 1950. Do I start tearing down walls, and get needed space, or do I keep the integrity of the time period, with a few modern touches. I'm sure my checkbook will dictate how I move ahead with this particular project, but my eyes are seeing slate floors, farmhouse sinks, and punched out garden windows...
The other notable thing I did today was try to map out the bathroom plumbing, (with my partner in crime). We ran downstairs to look for main pipes leading up to the first and second floors. Then we ran upstairs to locate where the pipes led to.
Then we got confused and ran back downstairs again, noted the pipes, and ran back upstairs. We located the 1st floor bath, then went to the 2nd story, got confused again, and ran back downstairs. With all of the old boiler pipes and locating hot, cold, and toilet pipes, we were running up and down stairs for an hour. Once we felt sure of all of the bathroom pipes, we realized that we should make sure that the kitchen pipes were in proper condition.
As I went on these journey's, up stairs, down stairs, up stairs, down stairs, I found myself silently, (then out loud) asking this question, "Didn't I make it clear, when we were house hunting, that I wanted a ranch?"
