Finished kitchen shots

We still have to paint and tile the backsplash, but the look of the kitchen is done. Here are some shots standing back so you can get the overall effect.

I put granite sealer on a scrap piece of our countertop yesterday and it definitely needs to be sealed. Maybe we can get to that later this week.

Done!

With the contractor's work that is. The windows and doors, the light rails and the beam wrap were finished today. He'll send someone out one more time for the final inspection and to do the little touch-ups we find. Now it's up to us to get the painting and tiling done.

Trimwork

They started work on the trim today and are nearly finished with the windows and doors. They still have to put up the light rail and wrap the beam. Dave thought they would be done tomorrow and could call for final inspection.

Cookin' with Gas!

The plumber came back today and finished the stove installation. Everything is done but trimwork. We have a fully functioning kitchen again! Just shy of 3 months.

Dave called to say he's had sick guys on the crew and is further behind, but promised to be out for the trimwork before the week is out.

More Good News, Bad News

Got back from our fabulous cruise to Alaska today (I've included one shot from Skagway), eager to come home to a functioning kitchen. The good news, we have a dishwasher! And a fridge in the kitchen! Bad news -- the stove is in the kitchen, hooked up, but not pushed into place. The burners do not work, but the oven does. I suspect they had trouble fitting the stove into the space alloted. I wonder how they are going to solve that problem. So no home cooked meal in the kitchen tonight. We still started bringing in the dishes from the shed to run through the dishwasher and put away. At least we can eat off plates with real silverware. :)

*Update* I guess the stove isn't in because the stove outlet was 4 pronged and our stove has a 3 pronged plug. The plumber hooked up the gas, but had to wait for the electrician to come back and change the cord on the stove. That was done Friday, but the plumber hasn't come back to turn on the gas. Hopefully he'll do it tomorrow. Dave got busy with another job last week and has us scheduled for Tuesday for the trim work.
