THE KITCHEN IS FINALLY FINISHED

It has been four weeks since we began the second phase of our kitchen repair.  Four weeks ago we emptied the room to have the new floor laid.  We lost food that was supposed to be refrigerated but was left on the counter all day.  We lost a cabinet which was put outside, rained on and destroyed.  I have lived with this in my dining room for the last four weeks.

(And this is only part of it.)

All we needed was for the last part of the floor, the shoe molding, to be put on.

Finally, three contractors later, we had a guy named Bill come out and finish it.  He did a beautiful job and we are very happy with it.  He even fixed a piece of the wall which the original guys botched four years ago.

I am very happy.  I'm even happier to be able to put my kitchen back together.  I might even be able to use my dining room sometime in the next few months.  What a novel idea!

I was supposed to go to work today, but had to take a personal day to be here because Joe is still sick.  Poor guy.  He says he is going to see the doctor this week if this sinus infection he has does not clear up.  It's no fun being sick any time, but especially not in the summer.
