Default Latest mods !!!!

Well sorta.....




















After creating many cars.....some that are not daily drivable.....the Mrs. finally said "ENOUGH !!!"

No more car stuff....now it's time to mod the house....

For those who have visited my place, you know we love to cook....but we love to eat too !!!




Well my latest mods include a total facelift for my kitchen and dining room. Since we love to cook, she wanted a commercial kitchen. Here are a few pics of the progress.....



Before:










My drawing....







Progress:


















Needless to say, I could have bought a GT-R and a pickup truck with the money spent on the kitchen, but it was well worth it !! Also looks like car mods this year are out of the question.....and out of the budget....

I will post final pics once we finish up this weekend........sooooooo glad the finish line is near.....2 months without a kitchen suks !!!!

It's scary when you sit down and calculate how much we spend on our cars. In the end, cars is just a hobby.....which is why we decided to concentrate on the place where we spend most our time.


And as usual, we went a little overboard.......especially with the fridge.....

whoa, now that's a fridge. You can run a restaurant with all the food that will go in there. I have not had the honor of enjying a meal at your house yet, but after your kitchen is done, I'm coming right over . Plus you like like 15 minutes from me. Can't wait to see the finished product - CONGRATS on your new mod!
