House: Remodeling Kitchen Recap!

A comparison of my kitchen when I first purchased my house and now:


Old Kitchen...



New kitchen!


Here is a list of the major changes I've made... if you're intesested:
  • New counter tops
  • New ceramic backsplash
  • New sink
  • New plumbing (not visible!)
  • New microwave (was already replaced in the top picture)
  • New plugin outlets and switches
  • Replaced flourescent lightbox with recessed lighting
  • Added under-the-cabinet counter-top lights
  • Replaced all cabinet handles
  • Refinished all of the woodwork
  • Added spotlights in the corners of the dining area
  • New pendant lamps over kitchen table
  • New Paint (obviously)
  • Built dishwasher into countertop
The amount of time, effort, and money? Um, yea... doesn't matter because it was totally worth it!

 

House: The new kitchen floor!

Finally, I can follow up my original kitchen floor post. In case you're not up to speed, I ripped up my old kitcen floor about a month ago, after a very long battle, only to find that it was concealing a horrid layer of linoleum. Luckily, the linoleum was a total pushover, and I had him out of there in no time.

So, after days of strenuous work, I present to you my new kitchen floor. I had originally planned on putting down ceramic, but I decided against it at the last minute and went with a Pergo floating floor. (It was going to be far less work than ceramic.)



He's really, really handsome, charming, hard, and--yes ladies--he's single.


Some of his friends: vent and rug


Whole dining area

Personal: I have a Rivalry

It seems as though I have an arch-nemesis or player hater of sorts...

Juanler has luanched the KevinStink's blog.

What a bastard... you launch a blog whose specific intent is to bash me?

Rest assured, dude, you'll be getting a piece of my mind and probably a piece of my overpowering fists.

For all you spectaters, keep an eye on the Juanler vs Cal category for further proof that I own Juanler in all aspects of life. Except at being gay - he's totally the master of being gay.

Personal: A deep look at my personality

I ran across this personality test the other day at Personal DNA and I had to try it out.

You go through a series of random questions and when you're done it spits out an image that represents your various qualities and their levels. If you hover over each box it tells you what they are. The boxes on the top left are your greatest attributes and on the bottom right are your smallest.


Dynamic Creator

I'm very unhappy with my results. I mean, I have slightly low femininity when I should have absolutely no femininity.

So, I set myself a goal; here's what I want my personal DNA image to look like 6 months from now.


Manly Man

To kick start my campaign, I now take anabolic steroids 5 times a day, I wear flannel at all times, and I eat slabs of iron.

In addition, my friend Juanler has taken me under his wing. Check out Juanler's Myspace - he's been a real inspiration to me. Under his tutelage, there's no way I can fail!

Personal: Perhaps the best Myspace ever

I decided, after months of consideration, to make a Myspace.com account. Mainly to plug myself into the online social community.

Here's the link: Kevzink!

House: Blingity Bling

Got a new painting up finally.

What do you guys think? I like it; it's like abstract and boxy or something.

Blingity Bling!

I've been told before that I'm good at art and that I'm very talented with my hands. I like to think this painting validates those claims.



I mean.... I clicked like 5 times on ebay to get this shipped to my front door!

House: I'm a Road Warrior

Today, I drove to Menards, my most favored home improvement store, to get some stuff for the house.

I bought a load of baseboards for my kitchen. I had to rip up the old baseboards in the kitchen on account of the new floor (pics of the new floor will be posted soon).

I got something close to 30 boards and roll them out to my 2-door Pontiac Grand Am, only to realize that I'm a jackass for thinking I could transport all of this wood in my car.

Nevertheless, with a little pluck, moxy, and grit, I managed to fit it all in.

Plenty of room for the driver, no?

Anyway, I had 2 pieces that didn't actually fit into the car, so I had to hang them out of the driver's side window at an angle while holding onto them so the wind didn't blow them around. It was pretty awesome because I looked like I was jousting.


The car joust.

It's a good thing, too--I had a posse of motorcycle thugs come at me. I think they wanted the Garter hanging from my rearview mirror.


This thing is a chick magnet. Thanks Sam...

Naturally, I put them all down with the joust.

Personal: Have you seen this man?

I was looking through some of my old photo archives and I stumbled across some unpublished images. Their contents are horrible, absurb, and disturbing.


Whoever or whatever this freakish thing is, is violating my sword and shield.

I've already contacted the authorities. They asked me if I had anyone who might want to "get payback." I pay my bills on time, I don't owe people money, I even give my mailman a friendly "Yo, Maildude!" whenever I see him. I can't think of anyone who hates me badly enough to do something this vile.

I want to know why this person defiled my sword and shield, and, more importantly, who this person is.

The sickening smirk on this bastard's face is really what peeves me off; it will haunt me for all eternity.


If you can help identify this man, person, or thing--whatever it is--that has defiled my sword and shield, please contact me.

I'll reward anyone who has information regarding this hanus crime with a free pair of my modern worker's glasses.

 

Personal: The modern worker's glasses

From the latest in modern eyewear technologies, I present to you a prototype of the modern office worker's glasses.

This pair has been specially handcrafted, by yours truly. It features an elegant solid plastic frame with printouts of some dude's eyeballs taped to the inside of the lens holders.


Now, for a demonstration. Check out these bad boys in action.....



Here, our subject appears to be gazing at the ceiling with the utmost attention, but secretly, he's sleeping soundly.


This prototype pair of glasses has its share of faults, however. There have been complaints that they don't look quite "natural." Future models will hopefully alleviate this problem.


Direct eyecontact with the wearer will give the onlooker a "creepy" or "uncomfortable" feeling.
