Kitchen Woes

Progress, progress, progress! So much done, yet so much more to go. Anthony says he will be done on Thursday - which is ahead of schedule. Hurray, hurray. However, I will believe it when I see it. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with Anthony - he and his team are doing a great job. I am so ready to have my house back in order. I did cook dinner tonight - well if you count re-heating as cooking.
  • The laundry room was grouted and the washer and dryer are installed. I am currently on load number three of the evening! Sadly, the washer is where the dryer goes and the dryer is where the washer goes so the doors are all wrong. Easily fixed.
  • The countertop and backsplash are fully laid and looks FAN-TASTIC. Even better than I imagined. Hopefully, it will be grouted tomorrow and will look even better.
  • Our less than one year old Bosch diswasher was not working. Anthony is pretty sure the pump is gone bad. My super smart husband figured out (okay, he called tech support) that the knock out from the new disposal was not removed upon installation. Ooops.
  • My cooktoop is installed, but sadly I cannot find the disks for the life of me. Maybe they are hanging out with my tv remote control which has been missing for days.
  • The cabinets are hung but look terrible. We had a cold front come through and Anthony thinks that is why the paint did not dry or dry properly (?). Tomorrow they will be sanded and more paint and he promises they will look fantastic.

So just details and just a day or two away. Then cleaning and cleaning and cleaning as I put the kitchen back together
