Kitchen Renovation Weekend #7

By on December 22, 2010

WOW!!! Look at my new stainless appliances and my beautiful granite! I feel like a rich person! 🙂

So after a month and a half, I finally have a functional kitchen. It’s still not pretty (LOTS of work left to do) but at least I can cook again. Which will be great for my waistline – I’ve gained WAY too much weight eating out so much!

Still left to do:
Trim (near the ceiling and under the upper cabinets)
Kickplates
Go to Ikea to pick up the 2 drawers they didn’t have in stock when we first got our cabinets (where the blue tub is sitting in the picture)
Backsplash
Drywall & paint around window
Replace trim around window
Flooring
Repair/paint the ceiling
Lighting

Uggg – the To-Do List really points out how much more we have left to do…one of these days we’ll get it finished!

Oh, and P.S. – installing all the appliances, adding a new electric outlet and moving the electric work for the dryer only cost us $140! Def keeping the contact info for this electrician! Super affordable!

2.5 more days until FREEDOM…sweet freedom!

By on December 21, 2010

Yeah, that’s right. Only 2 and a half more days until I have 11 straight days off from work. Eleven!!!!! Christmas Eve through the first Monday in January. AND that’s only using 4 vacation days! (Because that’s all I have left after using 5 in June and 1 in October. Boo.) I’m “working-from-home” on the 24th, taking the 27th as my Christmas holiday, using the 4 vacation days on the 28th through the 31st and then taking my New Years holiday on the 3rd! I can’t WAIT!

Since we’re not going anywhere, I’m making a list of fun stuff for me and the hubs to do during our time off. I’m sure we’ll work on the kitchen a lot too. (P.S. – the electrician is at my house RIGHT NOW installing my oven, stove, and microwave!!! I can’t wait to be able to cook again!)

I also need to start doing meal plans and setting some exercise goals. We’ve been eating out so much (since there’s no kitchen) and I’ve been too busy to do much exercising…I think I’ve gained 100,000,000 pounds.

Well, I’ve got lots of scanning to do, so off to the copy room I go.

Can’t wait until Thursday at 5pm!!!!!
