Renovating Your Kitchen for Under $1,000,000
Hey folks, thanks for reading my little blog entry. It’s been awhile since I last posted – been busy. Anyway, when we bought this house, we knew that one of the first things that had to go was the kitchen. The cupboards were OK as they were new from Ikea. But that ceramic backsplash and counter top were hideous.
We had shopped around four stores for the granite counter. The absolute best place for granite in the Montreal area is Italbec (italbec.com) with the price about $1500 below the next best price. We had chosen 3/4″ Caledonia with standard nosing, however, for only about $500 more we went with the 1 1/4″.
The whole project started on Monday morning and was done by Friday afternoon – only two and a half days without a kitchen sink!

What really sucked here is when we took off the ceramic there was a goddamm sheet of 1/4″ plywood. More work!
Let’s put some of waterproof gypsum board (or gypse) for the back wall.
