Everything but the kitchen sink (and counter)

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

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.

Waiting… hopefully

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

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.

Cabinets coming in
