CKD Remodeling

When you're ready to renovate your kitchen, there are a few things you will need to consider. First, you will have to decide whether you would like a full renovation or a partial renovation. ⁠
⁠
Full renovations are when you remove the existing cabinets and flooring, remove the walls between rooms, open up new space for more cabinets and appliances, and change the layout. This extensive renovation will include more time-consuming work, but it's also going to give you a kitchen that looks brand new and functions perfectly for your lifestyle and daily routine.⁠
⁠
Partial renovations are when you want to make cosmetic changes or update only certain aspects of your current kitchen. For example, you could replace some cabinet doors, refinish cabinets in a new color, or add an island or pantry unit. Due to their more limited scope, partial renovations don’t take as long as full renovations, but they still give you a kitchen that feels new and exciting. ⁠
⁠
Once you know which type of renovation you will be pursuing, you can look at the next steps to judge the overall length of your project’s timeline.

Before moving to the Milton and Santa Rosa County area, Steve and I worked with several nonprofits and charities through our church in Georgia. We feel strongly about giving back to our communities, so when Steve and I moved to Milton, we were eager to find new local causes that spoke to us.

If you’re a new Santa Rosa County homeowner or simply looking to make an impact, the 3 causes we’re sharing with you today are a great place to start...

If you’re new around here, you might not know this yet, but Steve can cook. He truly has a gift, and his chef spirit shines when he’s cooking for a large group of people. One of his secrets to feeding a crowd? Cooking sous vide.

Funny story, we received a sous vide cooker as a wedding gift way back. When we opened the box, we stared at each other stumped at what it was. After a few hours of YouTube tutorials and experimentation, we realized what a gift we had been given!

The benefit of cooking sous vide is that this method allows you to prepare food, especially meat, well ahead of a meal and finish it just before serving. And it’s very low maintenance. So, what is sous vide cooking?

Sous vide cooking is a method that uses low temperatures and precise timing to cook food to the exact temperature and texture desired. The process involves immersing food in a water bath and precisely controlling the temperature over time.

For example, Steve loves to prepare lamb roast sous vide, which is always tricky to get just right — not too done, yet tender and flavorful. Now, it comes out perfect every time, and our boys always request lamb when they visit!
