Progress

Things are moving along. We have a kitchen, now, mostly. The countertops were installed Friday and the guys came out this morning to hook up the sink and everything. That wasn’t completely successful since the faucet/sink is now hooked up, but the garbage disposal isn’t, yet (it is in but not electrically hooked up) and from what the guys indicated before they left the dishwasher is live and might kill us if we touch it, so don’t use it (I think the wires are there for it but it isn’t connected yet).
The electrician is on his way to connect the wires, I believe, and hook up the garbage disposal. Next week we will get the switch for the garbage disposal installed, and also some other stuff. The windows in the back are done, the medicine cabinet is righted (sorry, Rob), and other than the kitchen stuff, tweaking a bathroom faucet, and some drywall repair, I think we are good to go (with the exception of the million-odd things we need to figure out or do ourselves, that is).
And I love the faucet but Grohe UI leaves a lot to be desired.
We also still have to figure out how to get undercounter water filtration installed and what to put in.
Today we messed around with the roses (I am back to hating them) out front and I have 294 scratches and a thorn that actually broke off in my finger. BUT all the dead canes are finally gone and we have some trellises set up that look a little less terrible than the ones that were there.
Later I hope to pick up some shelves I bought (they are at a friend’s house) so that I can finish unpacking the office and unpack/put away gardening supplies and tools.
