Kitchen - Week 15

There have been a few hiccups over the past couple of weeks.

Some (but not all) of the remaining cabinets were delivered. The guys then started installing a few of the upper cabinets. The install is a bit tedious; they have to cut holes to account for electrical because the top portion of each cabinet is lit.

In this photo you can also see the whips for the under cabinet lights.

This room has nearly 10-foot ceilings; there will eventually be crown molding that closes the gap on top of the cabinets.

The jam extensions for the windows were started as well. They are needed because of the extra wall thickness to account for the framing for mechanicals and insulation.

You can also see some samples where we're playing with possible colors for the walls.  We're pulling (minor) colors from the stone counter and tile backsplash as possibilities. We're struggling a bit with the various reds, so may switch gears entirely.

Another hiccup was that the counter guys showed up for the final measure a couple weeks ago... but didn't bring their laser measuring tool. So while the counter should have been installed by now, they are not coming until this week...

Of course, some of the upper cabinets can't be installed until the counter has. I guess it's even money as to whether those cabinets are even on the premises or not (see sentence 2 of this post)...
