Kitchen Project – Day 86: There Is Something That Loves a Wall

Hey, look! Plywood walls! It's like a real structure and everything!

The exterior drama is beginning to wrap up somewhat. There's still obviously more to do — cutting out the window holes facing south toward the living room, installing said windows, siding, roofing, a door, landscape stuff — but the basic structure is there.

Now the interior drama starts to loom. They will probably be breaking through the interior walls to the walls week after next. So this weekend we'll be doing a first pass at packing up and moving out the kitchen — mostly the stuff we don't anticipate using in the temp kitchen we'll be setting up in the garage. We'll make that final move the following weekend (probably while +Margie Kleerup is out helping her folk with some pre-moving activities).

There will be pictures, don't worry.

Also on the List of Things To Do, getting orders in and scheduled for the new flooring, the counter tops, the tile backsplash (regular and accent), and the appliances. In all those categories but the latter we know what we want, we just need to get with the sellers and guy them. In the case of the appliances, we're still dithering on the microwave and the hood; the fridge is already bought, and the range, dishwasher, and steam-convection oven already IDed by model.

Things are about to start getting inconvenient. I'm looking forward to it. (Well, I'm really looking forward to a range whose burners light without assistance, whose knobs are all oriented the right direction whose oven actually closes, and a dishwasher whose upper tray sprayer actually works. It's the little things, you know.)
