Kitchen Remodel, Part V

Frustrations abound.

. . . but excitement is also in the air.

When we came home Sunday night from a weekend with the family, we found the kitchen looking almost complete. Today, the kitchen is still almost complete. The hold up? Two electrical outlets and a gas line that were not placed where they should have been so the oven and vent hood could fit correctly. Because of that, we had to cut a hole in the sheet rock, have the plumber move the gas line, then have the electrician move the power outlet. Then we went to hang the vent hood and the power outlet there was 1 in too low, so now we're waiting on the electrician to come back and move that. In the meantime, the sheet rock guy came back and patched up our holes.

So, if all goes well, we may be done by the end of the day tomorrow . . . after the painters come and do final touch up painting. Then we'll have to do a final walk through, and if we find anything wrong, we may have to wait again before moving back in.

But that said, doesn't it look great?

The kitchen looks great, I almost didn't look so that I could see it in person for the first time. But I don't think I'm coming for a while so I couldn't wait!
