Big Day Tomorrow

I have not done a good job of keeping up with this blog.  Lots of progress. 

The pantry walls are up and the freezer has been moved.  Problem there was that the door on the freezer is not reversible.  Who knew?  We looked at new ones at Home Depot and sure enough, you have the order it to open the way you want it.  This is a major problem since our pantry is not big enough for the door to open the wrong way.  I asked Linda to measure the freezer at Mother's since it opens the right way.  Good news is that it is actually a little smaller than ours which is a plus.  So, we'll get Mother's and take ours down there for the auction.  Glad we don't have to buy a new one!

Herbie has worked on the corner where the 'baking center' will be.  The guy we bought the cabinets from calls it that because that where the cabinet with the mixer stand is.  That's also where the tambor doors will be for the appliances (I called them appliance garages).  So electricity had to be run for all the appliances and also the under and over counter lighting.  Herbie did all the electrical work which the cabinet guy said saved us about $800.  The cabinet guy wants to hire him.  He got it all done.

Then he had to sheetrock over all the holes and do the 'mudding' to smooth it all out.

And he painted.  We really didn't have to paint behind where the cabinets are going but it was just as easy to roll the whole wall when the cabinets aren't there.  You can't see the paint color well here but I love it.

Tomorrow we get the cabinets out of our garage and installed!  Ok, it's not the whole kitchen but it will mostly empty the garage.  We also ordered all the trim for the whole kitchen so that'll be there till we finish.  The baking center corner of cabinets and the cabinet by the pantry where our small refrigerator will live will be installed tomorrow.  Big day!
