Day 18 or 19 or 101...It's all getting so fuzzy.

A plumber walks up to carpenter working on a minibar. He says to the carpenter, "Man, I didn't know it had to be so perfect."
That's it. No joke. Really happened in my dining room. I could only hang my head and sigh. Now I'm afraid to sit on my toilet.

Lesson Learned: you know it's time for an update when your carpenter tells you mirrored mini bars "are sooooo eighties".

And the work continues. The electrician arrived today. He's very personable and I am hoping very competent. He did figure out how to use the old cabinet fronts for scaffolding so he could move the ceiling light over the cooktop.

 

I am sufficiently impressed.


Other electrical work will include moving the disposal switch to an air button on the sink, moving two switches from the  4 switch plate in the dining room two inches to the right so they are in the kitchen, hanging pendants over the sink, adding an outlet to the island, and overall goodnatured chattiness.

The best part of all is that he puts up with my renovation insanity.
While chatting it up about pendant location options, I tossed our favorite rubber snake at him as he was looking away. He jumped and squealed like a little girl. But, he did not run screaming for his life from the job site. He Passes!







And I have to say, Steve and his assistant are doing an outstanding job on the cabinets. The veneer is a poly-fill-mumbo-jumbo-synth-stuff Cherry. It is very low maintenance. It's not supposed to scratch, fade, or chip. Evidently, it's immortal.
