It’s time to play the blog drinking game: every time someone says they’ve been bad about updates, you drink. Get your shotglass ready…
So anyway, not a lot has been happening lately. Last weekend I bought a countertop for my kitchen: Impala Black granite. I purchased from Lowe’s after the “20% cheaper than home centers” place never called me back. But I got pretty much the exact same stone (and for less). Here’s an interesting fact about granite: there are only so many different colors, and apparently, they don’t go in for variety in naming. So I GISed to get a picture from some other vendor: clicky clicky.
I’m still under budget, but I expect that the aquisition of a new over-the-range microwave and a table saw will put me a couple hundred over.
Also, I patched over the hole where my vent hood used to be. It’s amazing that you can slop a bunch of mud over a hole and no one is the wiser. Actually, I didn’t do a very chocotastic job on it so I may give that one another go this week, but it remains the last engineering hurdle for me to overcome.
