Ok, Ok, Ok, so most of you are wondering where the photos are of the progress of Mom's kitchen. (And Mom's been bugging me to keep y'all posted.) So, finally here they are.
Mom keeps telling herself (and all of us) how nice it'll be when it's all done.
So, to give everyone a history lesson on how this whole project started.....
Mom was in Phoenix (in February) at Bridget & Jason's when Dad ripped up the floor hoping to salvage original maple that was under the UGLY stick-on tiles. Yeah, that didn't go as planned....
So, the planning, designing, demolition, and chaos started.
The electricians came yesterday (Thursday) to wire the kitchen and will be back on Monday to finish up, which includes upgrading the fuse box to a circuit breaker panel (that's the $$$$$$$ part of the electrical) Nonetheless, the kitchen will be much brighter when all is done (although right now there is absolutely NO lights in the kitchen, unless you include the halogen floor shop light which is plugged into one of the two remaining outlets in that room:)
Well, tomorrow's job includes (sigh) tearing out the sink :( and remaining cupboard :( insulating :) and blocking for upper cabinets :)
So, if anybody feels like bringing dinner since we'll have no sink as of tomorrow and soon to be no stove to cook on...... Needless to say we'll be having lots of cook-"outs" and campfires and will be using paper plates, paper cups, paper bowls, paper (I guess it'll be plastic) "silver"-ware :) Any volunteers for doing dishes?!
So, I guess we'll have to have a "Kitchen-warming" when all is done. :)
MaryBeth (& Mae, too)

Thank You for the pictures and post. I will remember never to invite your Dad to rip up my floor when I'm gone(haha). I think pitching a tent and taking a "staycation" in your yard might be a fun adventure for the summer. We ripped out our deck and dug the post holes as of now, and are needing an inspection to proceed. Keep us up to date with some of those fancy meals you will be eating, at least it isn't an MRE(meal ready to eat) from the military. Good Luck have fun and can't wait to see more. Between you and Bridget I am seeing what is possible in renovation. Julie
