No Pictures

There are no pictures tonight, friends. The mess is so incredible I cannot bear to record it. The project is growing... painting and a little fix here and a little fix there. I am moving "stuff" from one room to the next, trying to stay ahead of the workmen. When will this be finished?

The latest on the granite

This evening I we had a dinner meeting to attend and when I walked into my kitchen I just could not get over the difference this "redo" is making.

We had our first glitch today. The stove top has a scratch in it. I should have opened to box when I signed for it. How foolish of me! Anyhow, it is getting worked out.

The project is going to take longer than we had planned (they had said five working days) and that is only because I keep adding to the things I want done. I am sure that is typical. Well, if you have the workmen there... might as well get some painting done and a few light fixtures replaced... ya-da, ya-da, ya-da.

Off to bed!!

Granite!

We have granite!!

Listening to these three men was almost painful. They were moaning and groaning as they carried this piece of granite in. It must have weighed about 400 pounds, they said.

Today's progress with the kitchen redo

The sink is gone, the old back splash has been ripped out, the place where the stove top will be installed has been cut. Tomorrow the granite will be here. The small sample at the bottom of the picture is what it is going to look like. I wish the picture was brighter but part of the electricity was turned off, so I am unable to turn all of the kitchen lights on. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Our oldest son and his family

Our son, Lance, and his little family in Mexico where they live. We had such a good time with them last Sunday.

Look, Maw! No stove!!

Look, Maw! No stove!! Yes. Had to go out to eat tonight. I do think my husband will want me to make up for lost time once the appliances are installed. I found out today that the double ovens won't be in until the 15th of this month. At least it wasn't the cooktop. The other appliances will be delivered tomorrow morning.

Very strange when the carpenter and my husband pulled out the old cooktop. I felt a little sad. It had served us well. 26 years to be exact. How nice to know that retirement can be in your future.

Looking forward to tomorrow!
