Well, we made it through parents' weekend with our kitchen in complete disarray, cooking from our old stove and microwave set up in the basement and washing dishes in the utility sink. Big thanks to Sally, Gabriela, and Carolyn for their understanding and flexibility during their respective stays. (At least we got our kitchen out of the dining room!)
Big progress was made today as the corner cabinet was installed as well as the new floor in the pantry. The plumbing seems to be done, or nearly so, and the back entry is painted. What a difference! Kim has laid the tile in the little bathroom and today is painting. Nothing is done - and we're still cooking in the basement - but we're getting there.
Maybe the best news we got is that the granite countertop will be installed on Friday. That means the appliances can also be installed! Dom's and my main to-do at this point is to choose tile for the backsplash. Of course, he's in Harrisburg this week but that will have to be the main focus on Friday. However, we want this to be right and if the tile isn't installed for our party, so be it.
Here are a couple "work-in-progress" photo from a few days ago:
We love our new parquet floor! Nice work, Brian.
We uncovered this historical treasure written under the cabinets above the sink. Too bad it's not dated. I'm afraid it's under a layer of drywall now.
