I'm right there with you, girl. ...That's so great! I'm right there with you, girl. The Project Of The Week is that we're having our kitchen rearranged, too. As in, move the sink and take out some cabinets. This will allow us to move the dishwasher from in front of the back door and out of the way of getting from the sink to the fridge or stove without squeezing through. So that requires moving plumbing and we're getting new lights and a suspended pan rack. But that requires the ugly drop ceiling gone, too, which I wanted anyway, but I was told there was nothing up there, but there are wires and holes and peeling lead paint. Oh, and we decided not to paint the floor but get new linoleum down instead just because it would take several coats and although I could do it myself, I don't really want to not use the kitchen and try to keep the cat out for days a time. So the worker guys are going to put down the floor, too, but that was a last-minute decision after they got here to start working. We'd asked them if they could paint it, but they said the linoleum would be easier. Right, so they guys were *here* and now I have to buy tile, and they go to start moving the kitchen pieces and now they tell us that they can't save the countertops. They just crumble when removed. No surprise, since most of this house is in pretty old and falling apart! But now I have to pick and buy new countertops to include the other bit of counter that they weren't going to touch because now they won't match. Did I mention they were actually already working on it?? So I had to go to Lowes and Home Depot and get all this stuff and figure out what would look good and could only look at what they had in stock because I needed it *right now*. That was Tuesday. They didn't finish, so I had to take off yesterday. They moved the sink all day yesterday and put on the new countertops. And we discussed what they could do with the ceiling. So now, I we are both at work all day today and tomorrow, and we have dinner plans with friends on Friday. So we only have a few hours tonight to get everything out of the kitchen so they can put in a new ceiling and floors. Oh, and now we have to get the paint colours finalized because they are also going to paint as long as they are painting the new ceiling. They'll be back at 8am on Saturday. I have to work that day to make up for being home yesterday. Fingers crossed!! But all of my kitchen work isn't for free :-/ Can't have everything. But I love the way things are shaping up in there. It feels so much bigger now that there aren't too many things squeezed into one tiny spot. Did I mention it's 6' by 11' and that includes two doorways, so it's effective space is really only a 6' by 3 1/2' space and a 4' by 6' space? <BR/><BR/>Can't wait until it's all done! For both of us :-)<BR/><BR/>AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
