Over the past few days the drywall has been finished, texture applied, and the first coats of paint put on. The kitchen is beginning to look like an honest-to-gosh (if kind of empty) room.<\/p>\n

That starts to change tomorrow. Jim, the father-in-law, arrived today. He's going to be here through the end of the month. Tomorrow morning, the new cabinets arrive. They're going to be here for many years — once Jim and I start installing them. That's going to be an interesting tale. (Especially since I need to split my time with overseeing two different go-lives on a major IT project I've been managing the past several months. Timing is everything.)<\/p>\n

So that's now largely over with, aside from paying it all off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
