Getting Started

First, we needed help unloading the truck. Good thing we have family close by. The women supervised as the men unloaded, of course. Everything went into the basement since we will be tearing up the upstairs.

Mike organized the basement so that we have our bedroom without a bed, a kitchen and an office along with his living room with TV.   The above picture is before he organized. We sleep upstairs since it has been deathly cold up here, high in the 40's.

We tore out the top cabinets but when it came to the bottom cabinets we quit because I am a little afraid of plumbing. I woke this morning with the decision on cutting the PVC pipe and getting the sink out of here. It has been backed up since we moved in anyway. My mom would throw everything down the garbage disposal so I guess it was time to back up.

I also started to paint the window trim in primer. This is going to take a very long time. Tomorrow morning the designer from KBD is coming to measure. Mike said I was mean to her in the showroom. I went in thinking how expensive it was going to be to order cabinets from a kitchen specialty store and I guess it showed. Mike had to pull me aside to tell me to play nice.

I also made an appointment with the Lowes kitchen designer. She will be coming to measure on Wednesday. I will have two estimates.

If you are wondering about our cats, they are doing fine. It was rough for awhile but they are now used to their new house and not being able to go outside. I will write more about their adventure at another time.

Tomorrow is a very special day.
