Kitchen Progress - Monday Report

We made lots of progress on Sunday and Monday. Dad came over and helped on Sunday afternoon and Mother brought supper again. What a big help!


Dad learned a little electrical and wired in some plugs for us.


Matt worked hard and we got all the electrical finished. There are a few "extras" that took some additional time, but will be well worth it when we get done. Keep your eyes open for some special effects...


Noah is our resident garbage collector and chef extraordinaire - but not at the same time or using the same materials! He's making a big pile on the haul off trailer.


He's also been busy trying myth-busters stuff. I showed him an article about using Cheetos as fire starters in an off-road magazine - so he bought some Flamin' Hot Cheetos and tried them flaming hot - literally! It made a little mess, but did burn. And smelled. Bad.


And, last but not least, here is the results at the end of Monday. Two cabinets are up, the lower cabinet base is in, the electrical is done, the plumbing didn't need changing afterall, and the gas line for the stove is modified. Tomorrow - we'll hang the rest of the cabinets, upper and lower, and get the counter tops on and plumb in the sink. A lot of work, but it should go smoothly!

I'm MORE than impressed with the 3 of you. I so wish I were closer so that I could see the work in progress and the finished product in person. Don't leave it until I get to see it!!!!! I'm waiting anxiously for more pictures... :) Glad you are all having fun together.
