Rambles that are fluffy, by fluffy
Huge progress. All of the cabinets are in the right place, the range hood is installed in a way that DOESN’T have spikes coming up from my living room floor, and the electrician also came and finally updated my outlets to GFIs (which I’ve only been putting off for the past 8 years) while also adding the switched outlet for the under-cabinet lights.
No real progress today, instead the contractor came and looked over the installation variances from yesterday and we formulated a plan to fix everything. Mostly just took down the range hood (and settled on a new solution with HUGE thanks to Spud for some much-appreciated unsolicited design work), and two of the base cabinets got moved 3" to the left. Oh and the hole in the wall next to my phone got bigger.
It wouldn’t be a kitchen remodel without some major screw-up, right? Well today one finally happened.
Ah, I thought that was going too smoothly.
What’s the old saying? Measure twice, cut once?
Partial cabinet installation! It’s starting to look like something!
Took delivery of the new cabinets. Actual install work hasn’t been scheduled; maybe Monday, maybe tomorrow, maybe in two weeks, who knows! Also this is real-life Sokoban. My little temporary kitchen becomes even more unwieldy. Guess I’ll be eating out for the next little while.
Two things happened today of note:
Neither are things I really wanted to have to, y'know, spend this kind of money on right now, but they were both necessary. If badly-timed.
Demolition! Or: a farewell to shitty cabinets.
Day 0: scrambling to move my stuff out of the kitchen because I found out demolition was going to happen the next day without warning
