Finally got my faucet, frige, garbage disposal, and dishwasher all hooked up yesterday. I’m most excited about the garbage disposal. I could probably throw just about anything down that drain now. Used the ol’ “hidden air gap” technique too. I like the nice, clean look up top.


I forgot how inconvenient it was to be without a sink in the kitchen until I started using one again!
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!!!
I started taking pictures late in the game this day, but whatever… You get the point
Cabinetry is taking shape…



Cabinetry is mostly in…


Next day… Breakfast.

Applying the sub-tops…



Doggy door test-fit

Took 30 minutes out of yesterday and surprised my wife with some closet doors in our bedroom. We’ve been without closet doors in our room for over a year. It’s weird how just a little thing like that can make a room feel complete.
