Kitchen Reno: Week of NOTHING

Six weeks in - what's happening this week? A big FAT nothing. Our drywall crew was supposed to show up last week to finish up the remaining chunks. When Jamey called them on Monday, they asked "what we were doing, again?" "Oh, yeah...the kitchen" was their reply when Jamey reminded them. They said they'd get here Monday or Tuesday. On Friday, we called again. No answer and no returns.

It's been over two weeks since the counter top people were here to measure, so we were anticipating a call with install dates for either late this week or early next. Instead, Nicole emailed to say the install date is "slightly delayed" because of the holiday, so the install date is June 6. I'm not sure how a one day holiday throws us off by two weeks. Needless to say I'm disappointed. I scheduled the stove install for Friday of next week, thinking an extra week on the counter top schedule would be sufficient. So...no stove for another two weeks, but more depressing: no sink for another two weeks.

I guess a few things did get accomplished this week. The refrigerator and dishwasher were delivered. I touched up the paint behind the fridge and got it all installed. Jamey's installing the dishwasher today. Oh, and Jamey broke us foot on Tuesday. Stubbed his toe on our kick-@ss ottoman. This thing is solid!
