End of Week Four

Has it been four weeks already? This is going fast.

They made a lot of visible progress this week. They installed the floor and cabinets. The cabinet above the ovens will be divided in half with one side further divided for storage of cookie sheets and cutting boards. The trim around the drawers under the cook top still needs to be installed. We’re not having doors there and right now it looks like a cabinet that is missing its doors.

Yesterday they cut the templates for the counter tops and those will be installed next week Friday. The ledge between the kitchen and dining room will be 11½” wide: 2 inches overhang on the kitchen side, 4½” for the wall, and 5” overhang on the dining room side. That’s not all that wide but it’s wide enough to put snacks etc there.

I picked up a plain light fixture from Home Despot for the hall. I also need to get a door bell. A door bell? What’s up with that? Who buys door bells? I looked at them and have no idea what to choose.

The remainder of the appliances will be delivered on Monday. Jill didn’t say if they’ll be installed next week but I am assuming that they will be.

Everything is still moving along swimmingly. We should be knocking out punch list stuff by the week after next.

All this eating out has not been good for me. I've gained 5 lbs since this project began.
