It's done!

The counters, sink, faucet, and tile is finally done!!!!

Before looking west.



After looking west. (The new counter is thicker than the old one...so our mixer doesn't fit under the cabinets anymore. I'll put a mixer lift in the cabinet directly below where it's sitting...but for now, it will just have to sit the way it is.)

Boy, from these pictures it doesn't look crazy different like it does in person. Bummer. :-)

Now I get to start on re-doing the cabinet doors!!!!

Weekend Update #13, after the wedding

Mot had to work Saturday, and so did I. Yes, yes...working on Saturday....it hurt my soul. But, it was year end inventory time, and I had to go. (sigh)

I was there from about 6:30 to 9:30...so not too long. After things were under control at the office, and my part was done...I skedaddled. :-)

First stop, the vet office in my home town. We were out of Insulin for Rowan.

Second stop, Double Barrel across the street. A friend of mine and her hubby own the shop. She had just gotten shoulder surgery, and I wanted to stop in and see how she was. One shoulder surgery survivor to another.

I was there until noon....hanging around behind the counter. Listening and watching the customers who came and went....the store is never boring!

As I was headed out of town, I decided to go to the campgrounds where my parents spend their spring, summer and fall weekends. Neither of them were there, of course....so I waited around hoping they'd show up. Mom was in Omaha getting her hair cut, and dad was actually in town at home, on his way out...so I didn't have to wait long.

The three of us ate lunch, then headed to my home town (until 2nd grade) to visit my grandma and great aunt and uncle. We were there most of the afternoon, and finally left because dad wasn't feeling so hot. 'Tis cold season. :-(

I left the campground when we got back and headed home. I pretty much spent the rest of the night being lazy...and loving it!!!!

Sunday am, Mot and I were ready to get to work on the kitchen wall tiling. The counters look awesome...but they look pathetic next to the crummy torn up wall behind them. :-)

I taped all the cupboard doors closed to keep the dust from finding its way in...so I'd have to clean everything...again. :-)



When it comes to Mot, construction, and power tools...you know I'm never far away with my camera ready. Sunday's work actually did not result in any blood loss...what so ever! :-)



When we stopped for the night, we'd gotten the tile on the right side of the sink completed. Mot is home working on the other side today, while I'm at work. Once the tile is all in place, we can grout it up, and be done!!!!



It's getting closer and closer. :-)


(Never mind the different door handles on all the cupboards.....Danny stopped by with some he'd found on sale, and we put one on to see what it would look like. I loved them...and immediately went to the store to find enough for the whole kitchen. It was an awesome sale and didn't want to waste time and have them be gone when we were ready for them.)

Hopefully I'll have pictures of everything complete soon!
