The Voices In My Head.

A quick update…

Right after the test fit, one of the flange pieces on the Domsjo broke. I got that sink at the “as-is” section of IKEA for $50, so I wasn’t too broken up about it.

Here’s the down side… IKEA ran out of the Domsjo double bowl, and couldn’t get any more due to a manufacturing issue, so they’ve been out of stock for over a month. They finally got more in the store this week, so I picked up a new one and popped it in.

I’ve got the guys from Meier Plumbing coming over on Tuesday to hook up the faucet, dishwasher, and fridge. Very exciting!

After the sink is hooked up, all I need to do is connect the wiring up for the oven and cook top, and the kitchen is functional. Then there’s just a few cosmetic things that I need to take care of, including a back splash.

Pics to come later… Almost done!!!

Seriously, Apple. What the heck. Why do the earbuds that come with your iPods and iPhones suck? Not only that, but why do you charge $30 for replacements!!!! Seriously!?!?!?

Lots has happened since my last post. Actually, nothing’s happened since my last post. I ended up getting sick and Operation Kitchen Remodel (OKR) came to a screeching halt. I’m finally feeling a little better, and I’ll be getting back on the horse this weekend to start wrapping up these projects. Saturday, concrete form fabrication begins.

I’m coming to the end of my much needed period of time off, and am feeling reflective for some reason. Maybe it’s that I’m starting to get a sore throat and I’ve been stuck in front of the computer all day.

Anyway, I feel like I’ve been pretty productive the past week and a half. I’ve demolished a kitchen, fixed some plumbing (plumber did that), laid flooring in the new kitchen, removed a door and replaced it with a window, and built and installed new cabinetry and a sub-top for the counter tops.

Tomorrow I will do a few odds and ends around the house, and this week I will be preparing for the counter top project. I should have enough time to accumulate all the materials necessary for the project this week, and perhaps even have my concrete forms built by Saturday. If all goes well, I’ll have some counter tops curing in my garage come Sunday’s end.

Welcome to Me, Myself, and Miles.  Enjoy.
