Making some progress...

with a few minor setbacks.
I'll share the progress first.
All our kitchen cabinets are in!The new bamboo flooring is laid down! Here's Levi giving it a try when it wasn't finished.The stove is now in the kitchen and will hopefully be hooked up this evening. Our new dishwasher and microwave are also in the dinning room awaiting installation.

Now for the setbacks. After working carefully all day on the floor, Gabe put some major gashes in it when he moved the fridge into place. He was really upset. He mentioned pulling up that section of the floor to replace the scratched boards. Not sure what he'll want to do. But given that the guy is all about quality and can't stand anything he does not being his best...I think he'll be pulling up part of the floor to fix it.
The other setback. The one that has me more worried is the counter tops. We knew we couldn't get counter tops until all the cabinets were in so it wasn't really in the forefront of our minds until Gabe had them finished yesterday morning. We know what kind of counter tops we want and the color. We just need someone to come in, measure and then install them once they've been cut. We figure that's no problem. They can measure this week and then cut them while we're gone on vacation. Install them when we get back and we'll be good to go! Wrong. We didn't figure on one more step, plus the guy at Home Depot said they won't be able to get here to measure until late this week...at the earliest! So if they come and measure this week great, but they'll also need to come back with a template to see if everything is correct, and then they'll cut it and finally install it! So, now it looks like the counter tops will be a few more weeks than I figured. Which totally sucks! A kitchen isn't really use able if you don't have counters.

So, that's where we're at this week. Gabe's thinking he can get appliances in this week...not sure much else will happen until we return from vacation.
