[SIZE=11.5pt]Papa Sic ... Yes it was an old dairy farm and very successful at that. Everything the old man built was made from concrete with tin roofs.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]There are two very interesting stories that happened here just after we bought the place, one has to do with buried treasure and the other dynamite, if anyone would like the hear about them let me know. ;-)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]I actually started this walk in pantry just a couple of weeks ago, but it won't take long before the pics will be live and fresh, [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]These pics were taken about a week ago.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]The exterior walls have been up for some time now with insulation and clear plastic, about a week and half ago I built the remaining 2 interior wall to the pantry and wired it. Once again as I always do; covered the wall with 1/2 inch osb for the simple reason that I can fasten anything anywhere without looking for studs or having to use toggle bolt etc. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]An auction buy will provide some cabinets for the pantry, cosmetically not real bad, but structurally they are crap. Much rebuilding will need to be done to bring them up to standards, I feel sorry for the customers that purchased cabinets from this company. ;-([/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]2 walls will be covered entirely in cabinets, so I left them un-drywall-ed but still gave em a quick skim coat of mud. The ceiling and 2 remaining wall were drywall-ed and skip troweled and painted.[/SIZE]

Here is a upper corner cabinet being altered by removing the appliance garage that sat on top the counter, the ceiling is not high enough to allow for this feature.
Thant is all for now, Thanks for stopping by! Cheers - Jeff
