Lots of New Changes!

We haven't posted in a few days and a lot of stuff has happened with the kitchen project over the last couple of days so I'll try to cover it all here.

The cabinets that border the living room were installed and they have some massive drawers in them. They are quite impressive at 36" wide and the bottom two drawers are both 12" deep. They also have reinforced hardware so we can load them up with all of our pots and pans and they will be able to support them. Check them out.

Hey I just discovered how to put captions on pictures!

On second thought, you may not be getting the feeling for how big those drawers are from that picture so Pork Chop and I posed beside it for scale and had Cathe take another picture. See how big they are in comparison to Pork Chop. They are so big that they rival the size of my guns in this picture. (Yes, ladies, I'm married now, sorry about that.)

Gotta love the (mild) farmers' tan

One other thing that suddenly appeared was our new sink. It isn't fully installed yet since it will eventually be an under mount with our Uba Tuba granite on top (I like saying "Uba Tuba" since it sounds kind of funny so get used to hearing it.) Yes, the two bowls of the sink are different sizes. The bowl on the right is deeper and bigger then the bowl on the left.

The blue stuff will go away once the Uba Tuba is installed.

The next big installation was something Kevin keeps referring to as our "Reefer Cabinet" which is the cabinet that goes above our fridge. I've wondered why it was called a "reefer cabinet" and am thinking that maybe it is because that is the hardest cabinet to get into so you might want to stash your reefer up there since it is the last place anyone would want to look for it.

The rest of that wall (as Cathe would say the "west wall") had the rest of its cabinets installed today.

It will look much better with the Uba Tuba installed.

We've also been busy making some of the last minute decisions and sign-off kind of things such as confirming all of our tile choices, making final decisions on the edge and overhang on the Uba Tuba, purchasing new outlets, switches, dimmers and a new thermostat and trying to figure out how to get the place painted. We also received our accent lights in the mail today. Unfortunately the box is kind of beat up so I hope they are ok. (We already have the glass shades so we should be fine.

Rumor is tomorrow might be granite installation day! So we might have some Uba Tuba to show everyone!
