Did I ever show ever
show you the door and drawer head warehouse? Its actually a reconfigured
Warehouse #1, or better known as our former living room.
September 21st;
about three weeks ago I sent an email saying more to come (meaning photos) next
Sunday, well here we go about three weeks late. The benefit of this, but only if
you look closely is a lot of detail work has been completed. The light rail on
the bottom of the cabinets, toe kicks on the spacers and corners filled in, the
gas line for stove ran (with no explosions), base molding and door trim
installed, and a bunch of stuff I already forgot.
There are some
things you do not have to look closely to see (but I am nothing if not verbose
so I will spell out a few). We have drawers! We have doors! We have water!
(faucets in two areas).
September 21st;
Getting close! Here's Maurie painting the last door and trim. Notice in the
garage remnants of the old kitchen!
She is also watching
the Ryder Cup which the USA finally won back.
