Well look who decided to show his face in the Ontario forum
Want to make sure eddie_4u2nv's notes are up to date, he already scratched out the m3 off my file right? He might have to pencil in some new purchases though, unless he has already.
In for more pics. How long since you first started to tear it out? How was the wife through the process?
I'm currently house shopping and she's wanting turn key... argh.
It took 2.5 months of working on it part time, after work/weekends. Mind you that includes running all new copper wiring to the panel, hardwiring cameras through attic, additional wiring outside, moving a door opening, stripping out old aluminum wiring, etc.
My wife is pretty chill so she was ok and we have a kitchen in the basement so it worked fine, but not having a dishwasher and carrying meals up and down was a huge PITA. It took a big toll on me mentally (coming home to a prison), it's the last time I am doing renovations in a house that I live in. I don't have the time or motivation to put myself through this shit again. Either buy move in ready or buy a fixer upper (fix it) AND then move in. Everyone should go through the experience once though Otherwise, fuck that noise.
I will post up some more pics. Here is the table I made, small house/kitchen problems:

So this is the space, since we decided not to go open concept I think we did the best absolute layout in terms of accommodating all of our wants/needs. Everything is in super close proximity, there is a seating area inside the kitchen, the space works very well for us and we are pretty happy.
Couple of things to note, if you go gas range like I did drop the money and get a proper hood. I found that in the $800 range is the sweet spot for something powerful (600cfm) and quiet. Elica hoods are your best bet, Quan electronics FTW.
I will never again have a split sink, This is a 28" by 9" deep single and is probably up there with one of the best changes we ever made.
In addition, I splurged on the tap and went with a Grohe. There is a huge difference between the flimsy shit at home depot and a proper German one, for $500 or so, it being one of the most used items it's totally worth it.
I put a small TV inside even though I was really reluctant about it, I wanted a TV to watch my surveilance system from that wasn't the main one, it doubles up as a Youtube drake station as well (thanks chromecast). Good for Songza as well when cooking, it serves a great purpose but a bit of an eye sore imo.
