Kitchen - Week 21

The kitchen is not done, but at least it's getting close enough that we can start to re-occupy it.

It's a good thing, because we're hosting a charity event Saturday and we need the kitchen stuff out of the rest of the house...

The stools for the island arrived Friday. We've not yet brought them into the room while we let the poly cure on the floor.  When we ordered them, SWMBO wondered if we'd waited too long. I thought not and said we could always eat in the dining room if push came to shove. I half joked that they'd probably ship before the kitchen was done. I was right...

Our parents helped clean and helped everything find its new home over the weekend. Though you can't tell by this photo (taken mid-way through the weekend), most everything is put away now.

And the dog helped too...

The range is working well enough that we were able to make our first meal in the new kitchen; Sunday breakfast.

I also spent some time getting the back hall closet cleaned up. The walls and ceiling needed to have holes patched and some skim-coating. The ceiling is now painted, along with the woodwork that was missed by the painters.  All that's left is to sand the last of the mud and paint the walls. Then everything can go back in, assuming we can find the closet rod and associated hardware that seems to have gone missing...

There's still more to be done, but we're getting close enough that the punch list might fit on a single page...
