Today I tackled more electrical hibby-jib, and I got sheet rock over the holes left where I removed the sauffets. I hate the electrical work, it means being up in the attic. But on the bright side (no pun intended), I got my light switches done for the kitchen area. Including an extra set for outlets above the cabinets, which I installed, where we'll plug in low-voltage lighting. There are still a few more (annoying) tasks to be completely done with electrical, most notably the stove. Uhg...
I also moved two recessed lights further away from the cabinets. I installed them last year and they were well placed before I moved the cabinets. Now though, they are too close to the cabinets and cast shadows I don't like. So I moved them, which of course means that I get to cap the holes... Uhg.
Over the next few days I'm going to focus on getting the cabinets ready to paint, so we can move Camila back into her kitchen.

I've learned that life is a lot like the Matrix. But instead of computers generating a reality for us, we generate our own. Welcome to my reality, and the way I look at the world. I'm a "slice-of-life" blogger and I enjoy writing about, well, my boring life. I like to build schtuff, fly, dive, wakeboard, travel, ski, hike, draw, blog, bike, run, swim (triathlons), take pictures, hope to kite-board soon, and am in love with my wife. Enjoy your visit, and leave a comment if you have time, I'd love to hear from you.
4 friends had this to say...:
Lookin' good!
I remember the days when the countertops in our kitchen were so covered with dirt and tools and supplies that I wondered how we'd ever use it to make food again.
No fun, but the results can be so worth it.
It's always nice to get to the point where you can see progress. It looks great! (so far....) The real test is will it all work right? I'm kidding. Of course it will. (I know where you got your info, and you went to the best.) Tell Camila "Hi" for me. Miss you guys.
I 2nd Don's comment. Looking good! He forgot to mention while our kitchen was being remodeled he had to wash the dishes in the bath tub -- thank goodness we have 2! I was living in Dallas at the time so I missed out on most of the craziness.
I'm so amazed you are doing this yourself! Kudos to you for master craftsmanship, and kudos to Camila for putting up with the remodel! :-)
I'm so glad you got a job. Congratulations!
