Doin' the Two-Step

We've all done that dance.  A-one, a-two, backslide one.  A-one, a-two, backslide one.  It's normally referred to as two steps forward, one step back.  And that's not dancing, that's called frustrating.  But, even at the pace of two steps forward and one step back, we are still making progress.  The appliances arrived.  Well sort of... Refrigerator, check. Stove, check. Dishwasher, OOPS.  It was damaged in shipping and the appliance store let me know it would take a few extra days to get another one. Those few extra days turned into twelve. Finally, it was delivered ....with the backside dented   and damaged through to the tub!!!  Another one has been ordered.  Dan was able to use this one as a place holder so that this row of cabinets could be set and the proper filler strip constructed against the wall on the right. Yes, some of the cabinets arrived and as you saw above, two of them are in place.  More on that later. This week the pantry

Where are We?

Seems like forever since I posted the progress on the kitchen.  There's a good reason for that.  The sanding, staining, and sealing of the floor took an entire week!!  The details of all that I've put behind me, but I will show a few self-explanatory pictures.                                             BEFORE                                  AFTER                                             and IN BETWEEN That took care of one week.  This week everything is in a holding pattern.  No one here working but me.  One of the things I have been working on is finding a kitchen faucet.  I have been trying to convince myself to give up on the one I want because it is back ordered until June.  However, every time I say I'm going to order a different one, I don't.   I had to give up on choice #1 because the spout did not reach far enough into the sink. So this is my second choice....the one that is not available until June.
