Yesterday, I had a cavernous new, empty kitchen.
Today, I have a kitchen (and dining room) full of boxes.
Said boxes are our cabinets, which have been down in a warehouse in Colorado Springs for some months. They were delivered today, and Jim (the father-in-law) not only crossed off each one as they were brought in, but ordered, Tetris-like, where each one should go.
(Also kudos to him persuading the delivery guys, kudos to whom also, that they should be brought into the house, not just dropped off in the garage. Because (a) that's going to make our lives hugely easier, and (b) there's not nearly enough room in the garage.)
So the stuff in the kitchen is the earliest stuff we will be installing, starting tomorrow. The stuff in the dining room is the second set of stuff to be installed.
It's a daunting task — a lot of items, and some of them are freaking heavy.
As part of this process, the plastic sheeting cutting off the dining room from the rest of the house (with a big zipper opening) came down. Which immediately makes the rest of the downstairs seem a lot more roomy, and also let the kitties more freely explore the new maze that is all that cabinetry.
Painting wrapped up (for the nonce) upstairs, but continues downstairs.
Took first trip to Home Depot (to get screws, plywood for under the cabinets, and some work gloves). There will be more such trips.
Tomorrow things get … heavy.
