This morning, my kitchen looks like this, but with the drywall painted:
It should have looked even more crowded, but Lowe's had to postpone the delivery of some of the appliances (dishwasher and microwave) and the sink and its accessories. We placed the order weeks ago in hopes that everything would get here, but delays no longer come as a surprise. If we had to have a delay, then I'm glad it's not with the stove. We need the stove here on Thursday when the gas plumber comes to work his magic. The gas has been run to the house from the street, the gas plumber will do what needs to be done inside the house, and then the gas company will come back to connect the gas. And then we will be cooking with gas, as the old saying goes.
People have asked if we're worried that our stove will be banned, that the state will come to take our stove. That has not crossed my mind, although I did read the reports about gas stoves that led to the worries of people that the state will confiscate my stove.
The cabinet installers come today, and I'm hoping that by the end of today, we'll have more space to move around. It may be a 3 day project, according to the guidelines sent. But it's a small job, as kitchens go. By Thursday, we should have a temporary sink, which will be a huge improvement. I have planned meals with an eye to having few dishes to wash in the tiny bathroom sink with the inadequate space between the faucet and the sink.
Fingers crossed that all goes well--with yesterday's stove delivery, carried down the gravel drive by the Lowe's delivery guys, I feel hopeful.
