Ordered

Today we went to Seconds and Surplus and ordered cabinets. 3 hours after we arrived, we left with a really good deal on kitchen and master bath cabinets that look something like this:

They are "shaker" style in "pearl" which is fancy for off-white. We're thinking about a darkish brownish granite for the countertops. I think that will warm things up a bit (I think these countertops look a little cold - gray...). And, yes, I'm getting my pot drawers (as seen above). : )

They should arrive by the end of the month. That's about the same time as the arrival of the brick. We're supposed to get sheetrock delivered on Monday, a garage door on Tuesday (which means locks can go in and we can "lock up"), sheetrock goes up on Wednesday and texture on Thursday. In order to get texture, we need to connect to the water main which means Bill has to actually do what he says he will and get it done. We definitely don't recommend Bill. It's getting done, but seriously. He's been a bit of a thorn in our sides.

Mom teaches a lot of kids who live in Chandler's and told them we were building the house you can see from Ridge Road. "The green house!" was the general response, which is sweet, but a sign that the brick needs to happen. Please, brick, come soon!

I also saw Ms. Elliston today and finally got a chance to say hi and see Andie and make that reconnection since we'll be neighbors. I'll get to actually see Scarlett this coming weekend...at my high school reunion. Crazy. Moving back to the old stomping ground....at least for a little while...
