Progress

lisa June 18th, 2003

Well, we’re both back at work this week, feeling like we got a lot done. We got some of the cabinets built, but we have one small section left to do on the floor cabinets, as well as the laundry cabinet and all the wall cabinets. But look! The majority of it is done!

The countertops are mostly done - just need to finish a couple of sections and do the backsplash. I love how the cooktop area turned out. And even though I wish we could have afforded granite slab, I like the tiles and they turned out fine.

The plumbers came yesterday and hooked up all three sinks (kitchen, pantry, half bath), the fridge/icemaker, and the toilet in the half bath. I think they did the plumbing for the dishwasher, too, but it needs electrical before we can use it. And today, they’re working on the gas - the cooktop and the dryer. Woo hoo! I celebrated last night by doing dishes in our pretty new sink.

Boy, it feels great to see some progress.

    Wow, it is just magical to see an empty space turn into a kitchen that would make Julia Childs salivate. I am concerned, though, about such frippery as all that leveling — MY cabinets aren’t level. I walk into my kitchen each morning and it’s like seeing a Far Side cartoon, starts my day with a laugh.

    Ah well, you young people were bound to make some mistakes in judgment, if not in carpentry or websitery.

    I’ll lay you odds, though, that with all those gorgeous shots of the new bath lighting, that absolutely enviable hood and cooktop, the very glam countertop, ad infinitum, that you’ll get the most comments on pic #11 :-) I, of course, am way too evolved for that…

    Much love, much admiration, LOTS of envy,
