Running water

It wasn't that I was lazy this weekend, I was just having too much fun in my kitchen to write. Friday we got lights, and running water, which includes a garbarator and the dishwasher (after not using it for 3 weeks, we ran it three times in one day...). It is beautiful. We cooked a nice dinner Saturday and ate it at the counter so that we could gaze at the creation. Now it's pretty much done except for the finishing touches (paint where the lights needed to be moved, kicks under the cabinets, repair of a minor problem with the sink, a couple more light fixtures). I have a theory, though, that 90% of the work takes 10% of the time, and my prediction of 2 years still stands.

But it is wonderful kitchen. It looks like it's from a magazine. This weekend, we are planning to put down hardwood flooring (Susan, thanks for your input...the tile is still up for debate). We really do need two more light fixtures - one to replace the bare bulb hanging from a wire in the middle of the room, and the other for the dining room, and we are considering backsplash options, since the new faucet has a lot more PSIs than previous. But, as Trevor put it, the spending is pretty much done. Now. it's almost all over but the payin' (pain... get it...haha).

The counter has already claimed its first victim... and especially tragic it was, since it was a daquiri just freshly poured. Unfortunately for Trevor and his daquiri, in a fight between glass and granite, the granite usually wins. We place things much more gently now. Probably a good habit to have anyway.

So, here is the latest view, from due west. Trevor says he will do the usual three views one of these days. I promise I'll let you know more promptly the next time anything happens... stay tuned.
