The life of a cat

The life of a cat. Taking naps all day, laying around with good friends that don't bother you with their problems. Leaving your hair on anything you want. Having food & drink available 24/7 or complaining loudly about it even in the middle of the night. Keeping your nails in prime condition on what ever piece of carpet or furniture is handy. Demanding attention when ever you want. Well at least this is our cats' life!

From This to That

Boring to......................

Wow!

While it's still not done yet a lot has been accomplished. The next big wow will be the tile backsplash. I'm going with my friend Jeri to look at tiles on Thursday! Thanks to Kent for all of the hard work.

Easter in the kitchen

Do you like my kitchen island? I wanted to have dinner at home today so we took a piece of plywood and put it on the island with a plastic table cloth. Worked pretty good! The kitchen is so nice I love just sitting in here. The gas is now working on the range so I can cook. Still no sink but that is on it's way.We decided to cook a turkey as the inaugural use of the new stove. We are just having a quiet Easter dinner with Erik & my mom.

Tropic Brown it is

So we bought our granite yesterday. It is called Tropic Brown. Kent wanted something a little more splashy than this but we kinda agreed on this one (alright well I think he caved into me) We will have this installed on the 15th of April (Just so happens I will be out of town and Kent will have to handle it :))

Coming together

I now have a DISHWAHER!! No sink yet but it's very pretty. It is not really white, I just hadn't taken off the protective cover in this picture. Like all the rest of the new appliances it is stainless steel and black.

A beautiful thing to look at!

Cabinet progress

The inspectors stopped by to check out our progess. They were the cutest inspectors that have come by.

Kent is preparing the area for the microwave

What a beautiful sight! The microwave works, the oven works but the range on top has to wait until next Saturday to get the gas hook up. One guy gave us a bit of over $1200 to put the gas line in, he wanted to replace a bunch of the gas lines. Another guy came out and actually looked under the house to see what our pipe situation was and the pipes were plenty big enough for the stove so the bid is $388! I think I'll choose "door" #2! We are still going to try to get the dishwasher installed today!

Beautiful cabinets!

On Wednesday night Kent put up the strips on the wall so we could put up the cabinets. He laid the cabinets out and took off their doors so we could start hanging them.

Las night we starting putting them up. They are great! They go with the floor so well, I'm very excited!

Of course nothing is easy (unlike what HGTV tends to make you believe) We have to put an outlet in for the new microwave. Of course the wiring that was there for the old hood isn't long enough so Kent has to put in a junction box tonight for it. Then we have to put in the outlet through the back of the small cabinet that is over the stove. We only have one more upper cabinet to put it. It will be a bit harder because we have to attach it to the ceiling rather than to the wall. I hope by this weekend we have all of the cabinets installed and the fridge put in place. We have a guy coming out tonight to give us another bid on the gas line. The first guy wanted $1280!!!!!!! This stove could turn out to be very expensive.
