My eatin’ room

As promised, here is another installment of My Kitchen Hates Me. Since last update, some doors have been added to the high cabinets and they have entered actual use; most of the base cabinets are in place and just need to be leveled and mounted to the wall; the pantry is ready to go; the trim was painted white and looks really nice. Still remaining: I need to get a vent hood and possibly cut down the appropriate cabinet so that the hood will fit over the existing hole, buy a countertop, move two base cabinets over about 4 inches so that a drawer will open fully instead of hitting the door molding, attach cover panels and kickplates and doors and drawers. So, most of the hard work is done.

When I get an ETA on the countertop install, I’ll start planning a welcome-back-to-my-house party as only the brave have ventured in since… how many years has it been since I started this project? Dave, you’ll have to drive down from Philly (and bring some cheesesteaks).

In other news, A.C. and I and a bunch of others went kayaking on the Potomac. I now regret not having tried that much earlier. It’s a lot easier than my previous kayaking expedition, which I spent the whole time calculating how quickly I could pull my skirt and how many ways I would die if I didn’t. Kayaking the Potomac is a breeze, like those pedal boats but not as cheesy.
