the remaking of a kitchen

the electrician called today and says he will be here a week from today and 8:30 am, and the utilities guys will be here at the same time to disconnect power from the house. i'm asking everyone to think cool and dry thoughts as we will be powerless for at least 2 hours so the service can be switched over to the 200 amp box. hopefully all goes well, and the time estimate is correct and the utilities guys will return promptly! then i will be able to use both ovens, the microwave and several spots on the cooktop simultaneously without losing power. what a concept.
brian showed up today as a surprise visit. we now have the abs connected to abs and pvc to pvc, well i guess at one point abs has to connect to pvc. can i believe i am saying this nonsense? the answer is NO. i hope the inspector just loves it.
we went to the wood store yesterday on the way back from lunch in stillwater and chose the kind of oak......grade and width that we want, so now IF all goes well, we will talk to an installer and move a bit closer to the finish line. guess we need to start painting trim around the windows and doors and then the doors themselves. almost forgot all the baseboard. i plan to keep smiling.
darrell returns tomorrow afternoon with new doors and a drawerfront. yea!
