The kitchen project is moving along leisurely right now. Danielle and I are both working a lot of extra hours at our day jobs, and trying to spend some down time relaxing and visiting friends, instead of cranking at last year's break-neck pace. We received our first tax-return as homeowners and that's going to help speed things up. You can see we've started moving into the new niche: relocated our crappy old uppers, and bought some new IKEA lowers, and have them assembled and in place. I'd tell you our plans for the cabinets doors & drawerfronts, but that would spoil the fun. The real exciting part was tearing down the wall between the kitchen and back stair. It's so much brighter with that rear slider uncovered. And more exposed... I think we'll be making a curtain soon. Stay tuned!

welcome to the drywall
Well, plumbing and electrical are done; with no leaks and no shorts, fortunately. Stewart did most of the plumbing while Danielle did most of the wiring. Then we "rocked" together. It's always surprising how different the space feels once the drywall goes up. A few more coats of mud, and then we'll be ready for primer and cabinets...

Ready for infrastructure
We've finished demo, and have the new niche framed. Next step is to run the plumbing for the sink/dishwasher, and add outlets and lighting. The new space is strategically located over the existing laundry room, so we dropped the lid there to give access to existing pipes & wires. Our "extra bedroom" is a little smaller, but still big enough for guests or kids, if we ever get our stuff out of there. Maybe we should build a shop...

New Years Resolution...
DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY!
break-time is over, but it was nice for awhile. Sofie got to play in the snow in Spokane at xmas, and we came home to a lovely pirate gift from our neighbors, thank so much guys.
In house news, we've moved into the kitchen for some re-arranging. This has been partially inspired by the killer deal on our new used gas range [thanks Philpott!], and partially by our own desire to cram in a dishwasher. Stay tuned...
Also thanks to Aunt Beth for the cool "Still Life with Persimmons"!
