John & Colette's Adventures

We have counters! And some very strong smelling adhesive.

Yesterday was a busy day for the cabinet installers. The upper cabinets went in as well as the pantry cabinets. Today is granite day.

It’s a great day.

The new corner cabinet that was delivered is damaged. The back of the cabinet looks like it was kicked or something. The carpenter is going to try to replace the backing but this single cabinet has been a pain in the ass.

Colette & I are committed. We have to remodel the kitchen now. We starting thinking about it again a few weeks ago and were wandering around looking at appliances.
