The Big Kitchen Dig

Things are moving along with the kitchen remodel! We now have the granite slabs on the counter tops, the new sink and fixtures and the appliances installed (but not all functional). Woo-hoo!

Dear Husband did a fab job of picking out the granite. The fireplace (left in background) is still in progress. The fascia (granite) has been affixed, but not the mantel, which will perhaps be done next week.

Still left to be completed is the back splash, lighting, plumbing and clean-up (ugh!). There is not one drawer or cabinet that isn't filled with some building material. Then, there is the matter of putting everything back in its proper place.

All things being equal - which of course they rarely are - we should be done by the end of next week. Could this be true? Dear Husband says this process has been more painful for him than the master bath suite remodel. No way, DH! Nine weeks sharing a small bathroom was torture for me. O.K., that's a little dramatic, I admit it.

Congrats to DH for being the designer extraordinaire. I didn't renew my interior design license after the disaster with the first attempt to "upgrade" the master bath that resulted in the major remodel in that room. I'll stick to something I can actually do marginally well - like quilting.

"Grilling" is the word for this July 4th. DH's famous veggie potato salad, BBQ chicken, grilled veggies and perhaps some homemade cobbler for the finishing touch. 2,000 calories on a plate.

Happy July 4th, Dear Readers.

Onward, happy to be almost finished with the kitchen dig.
