Well, this has been fun! NOT!
It’s not the kitchen. Despite two snafus, it is going well. I’ll describe that later. It’s the other parts of life.
- I still have a great deal of pain with my neck and shoulder. I will see a REAL doctor the last week of December.
- Jay developed a large (5-6" diameter) abscess which is getting drained today. It showed up suddenly and with his immune system being compromised, nobody wants to take chances with it.
- Snow. I blame Sparky. They had a delayed opening in my town yesterday for 3-4 inches of snow. Hello? You people would NEVER survive Buffalo. Wimps.
- Tomorrow, a large storm is forcasted: 6-12 inches in most places and 12-18 in the south towns. We are "North and West". We may dodge the bullet this time.
- Last year, a similar storm trapped me in traffic for 4 hours. I will be telecommuting tomorrow.
But really, you don’t want to hear my bitching and moaning, You Want Photos of my Kitchen!
Day 4: The FLOOR

Day 5: (Monday) NOTHING! Snafu #1 The corner cabinet that was supposed to arrive in CT was not there when the truck arrived at 2 pm to pick it up. Poor guy had to go out on Tuesday morning at 5 am to get it.
Day 6: The Cabinets arrive!

Day 7: Fixed SNAFU #2: the pantry is 1 size smaller than in the plans. We talked to the designer and ended up adding a broom closet. This will be added in 2-3 weeks when it comes in from the cabinet company.
Uppers started, Doors placed, Island put together, but not attached yet.
