My new kitchen is almost complete! Monday, the counters arrived, and yesterday the plumber was here to hookup the sink and dishwasher. Yes, I actually have running water in the kitchen!
I say almost complete because I’m waiting for the the cabinet pulls (which are pewter). They should look nice with the appliances. And of course I need to paint.
I’ve been meaning to try some concert photography and last night’s performance of Balla Tounkara et Groupe Spirit at the free La Fête de Marquette festival in Madison provided the perfect opportunity.
The band is from Mali and played some very infectious afro-pop. I enjoyed their music a lot. At times when I was shooting, I had to remind myself to stay still for a good shot. It was really hard not to move while they were playing.
The surprise perennials at my house just keep blooming. These lilies are about the last of the blooms for this year.
The contractor was at my house today to install the woodworking trim and mount the microwave. When I got home from work, I was really impressed with how nice everything looked.

The cabinets are in, the floor installed, the new lighting is in, the wall has been removed, and the plasterwork is finished. So far it’s looking great.
Now comes the waiting. Wait for the counter top people to measure (hopefully tomorrow). Wait for the appliances to be delivered (hopefully this week). Wait for the counters to be manufactured and installed (hopefully in a few weeks). Wait for the plumber to install the faucet, disposal, and dishwasher (hopefully soon after the counter).
If anyone needs me, I’ll be waiting… hopefully.
My new kitchen is starting to take shape with the cabinets being installed. To the right of the window is where the stove, and microwave (mounted above) will be. The sink will go in the corner, and dishwasher to the left of that.
