The order is in, and now we wait. Appliances have arrived, but we have no cabinets yet. My contractor tells me we have 2 more weeks until they arrive, but in the meantime I'm really hoping I'll have some gutted kitchen pictures to share with you next week! To tide you over, here is a picture of Skip about to tear into the boxes with our appliances (gas range, counter-depth refrigerator, and microwave).
While we wait, we've worked on some other small tasks around the house. Skip dug a drain hole in the backyard (which is now a hole with some water in it). He also climbed up on the roof (against my wishes!) to fix a flood light in the backyard.
Unfortunately, it promptly stopped working again once he was safely on the ground. Add it to the list of things for the electrician to look at!
We also started looking for paint colors last weekend, and I think we've settled on a few. I won't spoil all the fun yet, but we did try out quite a few samples.
Aunt Laura and Uncle Tino are coming up this weekend to survey our "wall" situation (a Tino specialty). I hope the snow doesn't cover it up too much, particularly because I'm loving the look of these little flowers that are popping up all over the garden.
Until next time!
