Bolin house changes

Kitchen and family room redo: Changes are coming our way soon (not soon enough) and I cant wait to get started on them, only I cant start on anything it all comes down to my husbands schedule. Man I hate having to wait. I have no patience when it comes to projects, once its in my mind I have to start right then and there. The new projects are:

• Put in new slider door that was taken out of in laws house because it is much nicer, sturdier and better than the cheaper one that came with this house. Out with the old in with the handmedown.
• Pull up existing carpet in family room
• Take out pony wall that separates kitchen and family room
• put in a new section of lower and upper cabinets in kitchen
• put down hardwood floor throughout kitchen and family room
• replace counter tops with granite or other kind of stone
• have sister come up and teach me to tile fireplace and back splash in kitchen

Picture to come soon.
