Today was a flurry of activity in the kitchen… The counter guy came out to make templates for our granite. I was interested to see how he was going to do this. I was somewhat expecting the cool lasers with the dots that they use on all the DIY and
That’s all folks… well, for now anyway. Surprisingly they kicked it into gear today and got almost everything done. The only part left are the toe kicks, and they will do those when they come back in a few weeks to install the new cabinets. I’ve always complained
Today is the first day its starting to feel like a kitchen! We spent the weekend with an abnormally long peninusula, a stove in the middle of the floor and a dishwasher up against the dining room wall. Today everything except for the refrigerator was put in its place, the
I can’t believe its taken 7 days to get to this point… The kitchen is definitely coming together… but there is still a lot left to do. I have a feeling its going to take them at least 3 more days to complete the stuff that is left! Then

Today was tile laying day. Luckily we had just enough tile left over from when we did the living room 5 years ago. Its a good thing I saved it, and knew where to find it in the garage. Braden’s first reaction to the kitchen when he got home
This week has been full of emotional highs and lows. This morning was a high… the pantry cabinet was installed and the bar area cabinets are in! I also found out I got some special features that I wasn’t expecting… like sliding pantry shelves and a sliding shelf in
Now that is more like it… Braden said we already have more cabinet space now then we did in the old kitchen. These things are HUGE. While it is still going slowly I have to remind myself that they are doing a really good job. They are making sure everything
I’m a little disappointed with the progress today. I had thought they would be done, or at least close to done by now. Apparently the 2 – 3 day estimate was a little off considering its already been 2 days and no cabinets are installed. Ethel ventured out of the
Not sure if he is more excited about the ribs he’s smoking for a party we’re going to tomorrow… or that we’re on row 9.
We renewed our FSU season tickets this year and asked for better seats… which we asked for last year, but didn’t get. I checked today and they moved us to row 9! We’re still in Section 9, but now we’re much closer to the middle… and on
Somehow they managed to fit them all into the garage… I really couldn’t wait to open one, but I wanted a cabinet… not the wine bottle holder. Of course… out of all the boxes that is the one I managed to pick. I can’t wait for Braden to
