Game Day
We bought a ton of stuff at Lowe’s yesterday, thinking we weren’t going to have enough counter top to cover everything we needed. We were wrong. I had to bring it all back today. I also brought a small stash of groceries to my father. He has Covid but he’s doing much better. He had another positive test today though, after a week’s worth. Crud.
Anyway, pics from the errand runs.
Returns
Lots of stuff to return to various home improvement stores.
Feline Freedom
We’ve kept the cats locked in a bedroom during all of the construction over the last two days. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we let them out tonight. They are reveling in their freedom but not realizing that they go back in the bedroom in the morning. Sorry, cats.
Forgiven
Lily appears to have forgiven us for locking her in a room during the kitchen work.
Installation: Complete
They are finished installing our new IKEA kitchen. I am thrilled and amazed. I love it!
The walls will be patched and tiled tomorrow and the plumber will finish the sink and dishwasher installation on Monday.
Wow!
Errands
I snuck out for some errands this morning before the work crew got here. I drove around town to a Home Depot and a Lowe’s, prepping for phase two which starts tomorrow.
How about some pics from the road?
So what was input getting? Wall tiles, adhesive, grout, and paint. There is still so much to do, even though they are miles ahead of where I thought they would be.
Tiles and touch ups tomorrow.
Wow!
They got so much done!
Kitchen: Lunch Break
I snuck out to the kitchen while the crew was on their lunch break. The progress is surprising to say the least.
The plumber is here, though we weren’t expecting him until next week. Something was leaking so he had to come early. There is also an issue with a pipe sticking out of a wall that needs to be moved into the wall so whatever needs to go in front of it will fit. There is a hole in the ceiling that we’re not sure what will happen to. We had a visit from the tile guy. He’s coming back on Sunday to do the back splash and (I think) touch up some paint.
I am really surprised at how fast this is progressing. It’s amazing.
Photo a Day
The progress being made in the kitchen is stunning. The demo is done and they are installing cabinets. It feels like they might be as much as half a day ahead of schedule. We’re already starting to talk about things that weren’t supposed to happen this weekend. Tiling and painting, specifically. The tile guy is coming on Sunday. It’s absolutely nuts!
Anyway, here’s today’s photo a day pic. I took it before the kitchen guys got here this morning because I didn’t know if I would get a chance for anything once the crazy arrived.
