Cabinets!

lisa May 27th, 2003

This weekend, being a long weekend, meant we had an extra day to work on the house. We got a lot done. The biggest accomplishment was the pantry cabinets. Have a look at the photos! They turned out great - of course we still need to build the drawers, doors, and shelves, but that’s not the difficult part.

The sink was a great find on Mark’s part - he found it on Craig’s List, a local bulletin board website that has come in really handy recently (he got our chipper from the same place, and we used the list in our roommate search, too). The sink, which you can buy at Home Depot for $300, was only $45. It’s white, which wasn’t my first choice, but hey - it matches the washer and dryer. (The other appliances are black or stainless, so it won’t match the rest of the kitchen, but that’s okay - we saved $250!)

The other big accomplishment this weekend was that I planted most of my seedlings - tomato, foxglove, cupid’s dart, lavender, and spurge. I didn’t get the cucumbers in - I need to buy a bag of gravel to put in the bottom of the tub I’m using for a planter, first.

Last year I put my tomatoes in on May 25th, too, and didn’t get my first tomato until August 15th. This year I’ve planted Early Girl, which might be ready sooner - time will tell!
