New TownHouse Renovation - Day 14 (3.10.06)
Friday: (again)
pics: Day 14 Photos
Ok, so this week went by REALLY fast.
Goals: Assemble as many cabinets as possible in prep. of installing on Saturday/Sunday.
One of the things that has plagued us since the beginning of construction is the lack of light in our place. A lot of the light fixtures had to be removed for painting and scraping and therefore are useless. One breaker is permanently off because we had bare wires exposed. And for some reason the breakers in our place correspond to random outlets and lights throughout the house. So we decided to hang the new dining room light that we bought to give us some more light. There are pictures on the website.
Rena and I put together all of the hanging cabinets (minus the fridge and microwave cabinets) and the two corner base cabinets. We had a slight dilemma when we realized the exhaust hood for the old stove was in a place where we were putting a new cabinet. Which would mean that we had to move the vent over about 8 inches to the right to fit the new kitchen layout. This was a problem that we really didn't want to deal with, but we found out at the end of the day on Friday. Luckily, I did some research when we got home, and our microwave doesn't have to use that vent. So we decided to cover it up with the cabinets.
I think by this point we are both coming down with a head cold that is making us both irritable and cranky. We wrap it up at around 9-10 and head home.
