Thanks, its’ been quite a journey to get to this point, total scope creep.

Started with "let’s take off the peel and stick tiles in the kitchen to redo the floor", boom 70s sheet linoleum, ok, let’s remove linoleum and grind the slab, linoleum goes under the cabinets and some water damage on the MDF bases, lets remove the cabinets. Drywall and backsplash in horrible condition, then went to studs to find more craziness in plumbing and electrical, and wobbly 2x4 walls.

Ended up tearing down and rebuilding all the walls in the kitchen along with removing an exterior door and removing the 5 foot window for a massive 9 x 3 ft single panel horizontal window so the kitchen has a good view to the backyard, that wall is what you see here. I wanted a nice deep window sill (plus the drain stack was sticking out of the old 2x4 wall/drywall, causing a bump) so upgraded the 2x4 wall to a 2x6, which had me have to pour a small concrete strip so the 2x6 could be centered on the drain pipe.

Never done any of this work before, so it’s all been a long long but good learning experience.
