Slowly but Surely


For all of you who are wondering how the new kitchen is progressing (and also those of you who have had to endure my complaints for the last couple of months) here are some random but recent photos which document the evolution...

One of Chris' earliest crusades was the ripping out of the old oven vent and covering up the hole on the outside of the house. The following picture (the best one I could find) shows the vent to the left of the window and the picture after that shows a lack thereof...



Construction of the "cut out" connecting the living room with the new kitchen...




The new french door is in (which we hope will let in more natural light from the breezeway and give the room more character). It was one of our most favorite finds from a really neat place out in Springfield, MA called the ReStore (a tip we received from Jen) which sells salvaged and surplus building materials at super low prices. Final price? $50.00. Nice.



Maeve helps Chris test drive construction on one of the new Ikea cabinets...


Has anyone seen my son?


The walls are dressed and the room begins to look more like a room instead of the absence of a room...

He's been busy. It's looking really good. From what you were saying last weekend, I was picturing months of work left, but I think you are moving right along!!! Nice work Chris!!!!
