almost a real kitchen

We’ve had an eventful couple of weeks here at the Jones household.  Andy had his accident, we had Thanksgiving gatherings both with my extended family and Su’s, Rite Aid had the grand opening at the new Napoleon store (it’s a beautiful place – stop by and take a look!), and we had the new kitchen window, door, floor, and countertops installed.  With all the new stuff in place we’ve been able to start putting things back together.  Our new sink was installed at the same time as the countertop and I’ve been able to connect the plumbing for it, the dishwasher, & the filtered drinking water.  With that done we were actually able to reconnect  the dishwasher!  Not only that, we also moved the fridge out of the den and and back into the kitchen!!  Today I made a cutting board to sit beside the range until I have a chance to make a proper butcher block for that space.  Overall I’d say that it’s almost starting to look like a real kitchen….  Still a long way to go but the “to do” list is now down to a single (full) page so we must be making progress.

Beautiful new countertop & floor plus a real actual working fridge in the fridge section.

New countertop, floor, sink, & faucet.  Pay close attention to all the plumbing bits under the sink.  It took me a full day (and multiple trips to the hardware) to hook it all up.  (The photos don’t do justice to the beautiful quartz countertops.)

As you can see the floor guys were just a couple tiles short. we’re waiting  for these final tiles to arrive.
