kitchen progress











well joe has been very busy with the new/old house. with a much needed week of hunting in west virginia with his dad and uncle and family friends, he is back at it! it is so good to have him back though. the photos included today are of the kitchen cabinet layout. as i had mentioned in an earlier post, we had won a bid on a set of new kitchen cabinets...joe put them in place in the kitchen to give us a better idea of what it would look like (minus the appliances). also, he has "roughed-in" the pantry walls that will surround the basement door...which is ON the kitchen floor....are you with me still....yep, the basement door lifts up from the kitchen floor....but now it will be its own little room with our pantry. the next few weeks will hopefully be JAM PACKED with lots of people coming and working on things like...electrical inspection, HVAC, new windows, drywall....i am beginning to see an end in sight! although we won't be in by christmas this year, we will be in shortly after. please keep checking in on us...and we can't wait to have you over to our new/old home once we are all moved in!
