The weekend is over and we have moved on to trimming out the kitchen this week but,  LOOK what we got done!!  The large cabinet is in place and the counter top  has been resized to   fit until later.  Also  notice the  electrical  plug has been moved up to the counter top where I will put the wine cooler.  Things are moving along nicely now.  The heavy stuff is done and only the trimming out to finish.  The tall cabinet is taller than it shows.  Will try to download  another picture of it in all its glory later. My broom finally has a new home and the swiffer too!  YEA!!!!!

So, here is a special surprise this morning in my  front garden.  The flowers are blooming and I am so happy.  With the hot summer and drough here I'm surprise they are so beautiful this year.  Ther are  three more presenting  buds that should be in full color by next weekend.  What a special  gift  on a early  March  morning!

end of the day

Here is the finished job for today. All the cabinets are in place and fastened down.  At the far end you can see an electric outlet that  we are going to move before we put in the rest of the cabinets.  We will bring it up to counter hieght  and then continue to put in the last of the cabinets.


phase two!

So here are the first two big pieces put in place yeaterday.  We  were  anxious to seee how they would look.

second phase

This will be a long week as we have started to do the other sidse of the kitchen.  We cleaned out the old cupboards of all the staples and then proceeded to  demolish the  wood framing.  The counter will be saved to put back on top, we hope,  until we are all done and then we will purchase all the toppers  for the all the kitchen.
We had spent the weekend putting together the new cabinets.  One was a real jigsaw puzzle.  It was the lazy susan corner .  It took us almost 5 hours to put together. As you can see  our livingroom is torn up too just making  room  for all the new cabinets to be put together. Yes,  He put the  cabinet on my new diningroom table.  Oh, the sacrifices we make for a new kitchen at times. And puppy had to be in the middle of all the action.


He is smiling now but there were moments  of a less happy face during all of the putting together.

Today we will get back to work and get the rest of the  framework torn out and then  install the new  ones starting with the corner cabinet.  There is a monster of a  heavy tall cabinest to put in  in  that will be  a utility cabinet for all my cleaning supplies.  We will definately need help moving that one.  Brother and probablly the neighbor boy will help with that for sure.

Here is  morning to night fall work for one day! Start with old...
Today we move in the new!!!!
