It sure has been a while, it was a nice break though after the craziness that was the majority of the kitchen renovation, then the month of illness – yikes! This weekend was a nice relaxing weekend with a little house work – a perfect balance. Saturday Ryan ran to the dump and the home …
This weekend was the first in a while that we were all healthy so it was great! We relaxed, did some shopping and got some work done on the house. Saturday Ryan got all the knobs and pulls installed in the cabinets! Then I installed the 2 drawers in one base cabinet that …
Well this weekend did not go as planned, that’s for sure. The one thing that did go as planned was getting the plumbing in the kitchen done thanks to Jason. Well mostly done, we still need to hook up the freezer/ice maker and install a pot filler. But the sink and dishwasher are all hooked …
Yesterday while I worked from home, the counter installers showed up. Both ryan and I had forgotten what the counters actually looked like, it was so hard to choose one we liked originally. Once I saw that first pieces of stone though I knew it was perfect. We love them! We ate dinner last night …

They came out saturday morning around 9am so Friday night ryan and I worked on the electrical, finishing up almost all of the lights (we couldn’t install 2 of the recessed lights because the oscillating saw was needed …
