My time without a Kitchen

Well, it has begun..the kitchen redo. We have been without a kitchen for just over a week now. And wouldn't you know it, I didn't take any before pictures. but I do have the pictures of the space just after tear out. It looks much bigger without the closets. And I am excited to see the finished project. But we are already behind as we have ahd to wait for the sheetrocker. He should be done by Saturday and then they will have to wait as I won't be able to paint until the first of the week.The living room is a mess as that is our "storage area" and also our 'cooking' area( what cooking I have done). This spring, when I went out to barbecue, there were birds in our 'barby' so we haven't used it. I just checked and the birds have now flown the coop. We will now be able to do some barbecuing for some of our dinners. Our appliances have been here for 2 weeks and the flooring has been here for 3.

I am so excited. I still have some decisions ahead of me....lighting fixtures, sink and faucet, and hardware......I hope I live through it!

As a side note, Today my nephew Scott left for the Leeds England mission and the Preston England MTC. Good luck Scott. We love you!
