More Stuff and Dinner.

One backhoe later, we have a new drain pipe. We also have a large hole in the backyard. But the backhoe is still in the yard and supposedly tomorrow it will be filled and reseeded. The plumbers think they'll actually be able to finish all of their work tomorrow... then we have drywall people coming on Tuesday and a floor measure scheduled for the utility/laundry room also on Tuesday.

What's left? Well, a lot. We have to make our materials list for the hardwood floor this weekend and get that to Agincourt for fabrication of our floorboards. Then I have to find a new person to refinish the floors since Blue Knight wasn't going to be available until September (and they didn't seem too thrilled about doing the work anyway). Then we have to have the range hood vented to the outside, have the cabinets installed, have the granite templates made and have the finish electrical done. I also still need to order my faucet, pick out a disposal and compactor and order subway tile for the backsplash. But we do feel like we're making progress.

In other news, on the cooking front we bought a rice cooker! Last night we barbequed chicken kabobs on the grill and had yellow rice from the ye old rice cooker. Tonight? We grilled salmon on cedar planks (which caught fire, just a little bit), had more yellow rice and made fruit/bell pepper salsa. It was generally yummy. Shout out to the Mom who was in charge of grilling the salmon!
