WORK IN PROGRESS

After 6 years we are finally fixing our kitchen and 1/2 bath. We have had horrid formica and have not liked the cabinets since day one. Around the first week of December we started making arrangements to redo the kitchen. We are getting some new cabinets and refacing some of the old ones. Along with cabinets comes lots of new lighting, Heber Valley Lighting - Char Clarke, mirrors, bathroom floor, faucets, rings in the bottom of the kitchen sink, knobs etc. Todd accuses me of trying to help stabilize the economy all on my own.
We now have the base of all of our cabinets and some of the trim. Wayne Clarke came and installed (with supervision from Todd) our lights and mirror. They are fabulous. Our granite and sinks were installed Wednesday and they are great. Urbano, our new everything else guy, had our tile put in today and the basement was painted last week (everything from the basement family room and the kitchen is in the storage room - we borrowed 2t of flour last week from the Grover's.) Everything is looking great but feeling slow.
Tomorrow is a new day, grout for bathroom floor, possibly set a new toilet, baseboards painted and installed in bath too. Mike, cabinet guy, is coming hopefully to mostly finish. He told me next week we'll be done. (?) Guy, cousin plumber, will hopefully come today or tomorrow to hook up the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Every day I change my mind about the backsplash for the kitchen. I know we are going to have glass tiles, what colors/types is yet to be decided. I think that has to wait for another pay check anyway.

Wow. That is so exciting. I'll bet you can't wait for it to be all done.
I was laughing SO HARD when I read your last post and saw the pic of chocolate morgan. Oh my. So funny.
I absolutely love that quote by Pres Hinkley on your blog. Hope you don't mind if I put it on mine too.
