Are We There Yet?
How about we play a little game called you-don’t-ask-me-when-the-kitchen-will-be-finished-and-i-won’t-punch-you-in-the-neck? It’s totally my favorite game!
The process is slow, but more or less steady. If we were willing to reign in our social life, turn down projects at work, drop out of school, or sell organs to the Russian mafia it would probably go somewhat faster…but we’re not. So we go at our own pace, and that means some weeks we don’t get shit done. We’re super ok with this and you should be, too.
But for a big picture update, here’s where we stand (inshallah, naturally)
- This weekend should see the mudding finished and the ceiling primed. We may even start putting up ceiling tiles. (Nah, I don’t believe that, either)
- We’ve decided to reface the old cabinets, so tonight I’ll order the doors from Ikea.
- Next weekend is camping with zombie squad, so we’ll be not getting shit done.
- With any luck the weekend of june 21 will see the ceiling hung.
- If that lucky streak keeps up, the weekend of june 28 will see some painting done.
- 4th of july weekend could see cabinets installed and shelves hung, if the stars all align just so.
- We’ve decided to pour concrete counter tops, maybe. We’ll think mid-july for that little experiment. However, if anyone has suggestions for cheap stainless steel counters, I’m all ears!
- Flooring is last and we’re shooting for end of July.
See, wasn’t that a fun game?
