810 Kitchen Remodel

Week 27

The last official work weekend has come and gone, the Foreman is sad, so sad that he has convinced Mom Socie, that a kitchen remodel at 4528 is a bad idea. Apparently the last 6 months of our kitchen remodel shenanigans have taught them a lesson, contract the kitchen out to professionals.

A whirlwind of finishing touches and trim were put up this weekend. The window has been stained, after a very scientific stain customization of Red Oak, Satin Pecan and a touch of Red Mahogany. The trim has been put up around the doors and toe kicks in place. The router is still warm with the cuts to match the profile on the cupboard doors. I would like to say that the finish nailer is still warm from the trim, but its final job this weekend was nailing trim pieces to the outside of the shed at the house of Horst, the temperature, 45 degrees with light rain.

We ate our first real cooked meal from scratch in the kitchen with guests. We may have imported a chef and we may have ate dinner at 9pm, but it still counts. Amy may have also tried to cook some plastic ware in the oven first, before the squash. At the end of the day it is a functioning kitchen.

We also had a visit from our missing contractor of choice, John and his Nascar driver wife, Speedy Sara. We have not seen the likes of John since drywall. He has been busy working on his shed, aka second home, in his backyard. So the finish nailer has been like our child of divorced parents, spending alternate weekends at each projects house. Though I am sure that Paslode likes the interior conditioned spaces better than at his dad's house.
