A Quick Update...

Here's the progress!

Monday: Granite will be installed (or at least it's supposed to be installed... the Granite people told me Tuesday when I called to confirm, and then Doug at HD interceded and made them go back to the original date of Monday... something's telling me they're going to pull a Verizon and "not be able to make it" on Monday... but I'm trying to stay positive!

Then we've got Tony coming back later in the week to finish his work on the cabinets and do the backsplash and we'll have Gold Medal come back and finish the plumbing (sink/dishwasher/disposal hook-up, pot-filler hook-up) and electrical (island lights, woo-hoo!).

What else? Laundry room floor! Lowes will be installing a tile floor in our laundry room. The materials are in stock and will be ready for pick up on Tuesday and the salesman expected that the installation can take place by the end of next week!

I see a light at the end of the tunnel.... and the exciting thing is it will be just in time for the new season of Top Chef which begins on November 12th!

Pack your knives and Go!

Speaking of packing your knives, we also visited the Town Topics office today in order to place our GARAGE SALE ad! Yes, we have finally lived here long enough to emass enough extra crap to hold a garage sale! I'm very excited. Of course, I'm sure I'll be less excited on the days leading up to the sale, but we'll see. We have lots of interesting stuff like our old Viking cooktop, two old TVs, our old kitchen rug, clothes, dishware and other assorted crap that has been taking up space in the "office" aka the moldy little room off of the garage. Let's hope we clear enough cash that it will pay for our new trash compactor!
