Kitchen Reno: Countertops FINALLY!

We've finally got countertops! Yahoo! It only took twice as long as we anticipated - five weeks is a looonnnggg time to be without a sink! Now, we still have to connect the plumbing to the sink, but my favorite resident master plumber is going to tackle that job tomorrow night.

Cam insists on getting in to the picture.

Now that the counters are in, we can install the stove, too. I opened up the microwave and plugged it in (without the cabinet), so at least we'll soon have all the appliances in and working!

The two mis-sized cabinets that had to be re-ordered are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately our contractor probably won't be able to get back here until late next week. Bummer! When he can get here he'll install the final two cabinets, floating shelves, crown molding, trim boards and drawer handles and pulls. I can't wait!!!

After that all that's left is the tile backsplash (tiles are ordered) and the floor. We don't have the quote yet on stripping and re-waxing the Spanish tiled floor. Jamey thinks maybe we could attempt it ourselves. I'm lukewarm on that suggestion.
