Let There Be Drywall

It's funny, but in a way these first few days are my favorite part of the project. As Anastasia will attest, I get WAY more excited about the inner-workings and nuts-and-bolts of the project than she does. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for the brand new log-cabin style cabinets, the red linoleum floors and the refurbished electric range*, but it's really cool to see all the brand-new guts of the kitchen and know that we won't have any problems with it for a long time to come.

Y'all will probably be more excited later, as the only thing you get a peek at here is the new flooring. Maybe.

*range may not actually be refurbished, all descriptions may be suspect

  1. Cool to see it come together this fast. We saw two (two!!) log cabin style trailers on a cheesy little beachside trailer park in Westport Monday. Maybe they'd sell one and you could take it West to use as base camp in your mountain travels.

  2. Yeah, this crew is great. Very efficient. It should be really exciting to start seeing cabinets go in over the next couple of days.
