Updates and Comments

Well as you can tell things are moving along. Maybe not as fast as I'd like, but actually for a job this size it's really moving quickly.

Friday, Majestic came out to do the template for the counter top. After attaching all these squares, they take a picture. They do this with each section of counter. It was interesting. It took about 20 minutes for each section to put all the squares up and take a picture. Who knew?

Vince is installing the cabinets and he's with Kitchen and Bath galleries. It's amazing how much he has done in such a short amount of time. If I were doing this...well,it wouldn't be happening at all. The next phase is the crown molding over the cabinets and they'll be done. There are some bumpers that will need to be installed to keep the cabinets from hitting each other and the lazy susan will need the cabinet builder to take a look at the cabinet to figure out why it's not spinning correctly. All in all, everything is looking great.


Had a nice chat with John of Blue Ribbon on Friday about the pot filler and it's not an option. If I had decided to do this from the beginning when John first mentioned it, there would be no problem. But to do it now, they'd have to remove the cabinets, tear out the wall and run new plumbing. When that was explained I decided that it wasn't a good idea. Come to find out today, Mark had already told John and Chris that he'd talk me out of the idea. While we discussed the pot filler I mentioned that all the designing shows say what a wonderful idea it is to have. Well, all the men in the room cringed and I really mean cringed and in unison said I have to stop watching those shows.

After all, all those shows can remodel an entire kitchen in 30 minutes.

Friday, the put the bath vanity in place and it's looking a bit more orange than I thought it would be but I'm still loving it. I know I originally talked about getting a "furniture" vanity but I couldn't find anything that I loved enough to pay $1000 for. Besides, none of the fancy units I liked had drawers and I'm really loving the ideas of drawers in the vanity. A place for brushes, bandaids, first aid stuff. All those things that you need in a bathroom.
