Slow Progress

A 10-day vacation (4 days driving) slowed us down.  The week before we left was busy and the week we got back was busier but work is progressing.  The pantry is almost finished and the other corner is cleared and ready to be prepared for cabinets.  Herbie moved the water line for the small frig/icemaker today so it's out of the way.  The plan is for the first section of cabinets to be installed next week and then the granite will be installed.  We had to move it out 2 weeks because of vacation and church projects.  Our church 50th birthday celebration is May 1 and we both have lots to do for that.
We have had a couple of electricans out for estimates.  We need a new circuit since we'll have 2 ovens.  The first estimate was over $600.  Then Herbie figured out that we might not need as much work so he called an old friend that he used to work with that does work on the side.  She came out today and agreed that the job is a lot simpler than orignially thought.  So, Herbie buys the supplies and she'll do the work for an hourly rate.  We'll save a lot of money on that project.

The cook top finally came in before we left and I'll relay a funny story about that some time.  We also ordered our bar stools.

The correct pantry door came in and is in the garage.  The garage was getting full so Herbie worked on the deck to get the material out of the garage.

 I'll post pictures soon.
