Kitchen Update

OK, we tore out the cabinets tonight, so we're progressing! The new cabinets should be shipping in the next day or two. It's getting exciting! Laura looks pretty excited in this picture, doesn't she? Laura says: "Yippee!"

I, however, am too cool to look excited. Here I am as the absolute epitome of cool in my Cartman T-shirt holding two of my favorite things, a power tool and beer. Seriously, I am all that is man. Look how massive I look next to those puny little cabinets. I tower over them like a super-huge manly freak of nature. Later, I crushed them with my mighty man-hands. If I were any more manly, I would be Ron Burgundy. Seriously, the new kitchen will have lots of scotch, many leather bound books and smell of rich mahogany.

Here's a final snapshot of how things are right now. I don't have to work until 2pm tomorrow, so all I have to do in the morning is a little plumbing to remove the sink & final counter top and pull out the dishwasher. Then I'll yank the last cabinet in the corner. I'll leave all the fun cleanup work for Laura to finish when she gets home from work Friday.

Also, I pretty much have the new roof on the screen porch. There's two more panels I have to stick on there. This picture is what it looked like after I finished painting the rafters, etc. and right before I started sticking on all of the new clear, tinted roof panels. It'll be like having a 12x18ft. skylight! ...kinda

OK, finally, it looks like we're good to go. After a major delay due to the main installation guy who is going to do the custom cabinet work around the washer & dryer in the kitchen to hide them and give it a built-in look, we finally have a labor quote. So, we're off to go make the final decisions (what kinda crown molding on the cabinets, etc.) and sign off on it. We should have a new kitchen in the next 1-2 months!
