Progress is a good thing. Our cabinets were delivered and
drywall finishing continues. It is really starting to look like a room!

I know I have mentioned in the past that I am a remodel TV
show junkie. While I am shopping at Lowes or Home Depot, I fantasize about what
it would be like to be approached by the likes of Josh Temple, Alison Victoria
or Ahmed Hassan of the “Crasher Series.” In reality I have to believe that once
the people are crashed, all of the supplies are ordered and they come back and
act like it is the next day.
Truth is most cabinets take at least three weeks, most
flooring needs to be ordered, and those fancy countertops take at least two
weeks after the measure, which cannot happen until the base cabinets are in
place. Drywall needs to be installed, taped and mudded. Then there is the
sanding, and just maybe more mudding and sanding. At least the “Crasher” shows
include an insanely big crew, and some others barely show the crew.
I have Jeff, with
occasional help from Lloyd. He has done an incredible job. He is very
methodical and will not cut corners, I appreciate that, and the bottom line is
that it takes time. Every day I come home from work hoping for some major
progress. I realized today that I have gotten that progress, but sometimes it
just doesn’t show. All of the plumbing is moved and ready to go. The electrical
lines are moved and in place for the new dishwasher, under cabinet lighting and
did I mention my new GAS stove? And by the way, the gas line has been moved
half way across the kitchen for my new GAS stove!
