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.

R.I.P. Michael
When I think of the life Michael Jackson, it’s hard not to consider him a tragic figure. With the announcement of his death today (at the young age of 50), even more so. But when I consider Michael Jackson, what comes to mind are not the struggles he had in life, not his eccentricities, but some of the excellent music he made. In particular, some killer songs on his albums Off The Wall and Thriller.
I’ve always loved the simplicity and intrigue of “Billy Jean”, my favorite song of his. Thank you Michael, and may you rest in peace.
Waiting… hopefully
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
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.

Kitchen remodel: before
Tomorrow the contractors will start demolition on my kitchen. I thought I should post some “before” pictures to document the transition.
