Kitchen Reno Update

As we moved in and out of week five, there was little to do except shop for drawer organizers, scrub the grout between the ceramic tile (here's a tip: if you believe that a light grout - beige for example - perfectly IMG_0355 compliments beige tile, please reconsider), and eat crow when one of the countertop installers shows up unexpectedly to clean adhesive spilled by cabinetry inspector when he inexplicably gouged a cupboard facing that was marred during installation then he splashed adhesive across it.

We only await a couple of additional shelves and the replacement of cabinet facings and trim that were damaged during installation. Oh, and there's the backsplash and a paint job, but there's no hurry.

So for now, we are enjoying our new kitchen and look forward to hosting dinner this holiday season.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
