kitchen update

WE HAVE COUNTER TOPS AND RUNNING WATER!!!!!!!  After months with only an 18" counter to work on and over a month of washing dishes in the bathroom sink, these are both things to make me do the happy dance.  The new sink is deeper than the old one and the faucet is tall with a pull out spray arm for rinsing larger pots, I love it.  AH did a fabulous job with the counter tops and they look great.  Of course we still have a long way to go with the tile, electrical and the little things but at least now it is a workable kitchen.  We have spent every free minute over the last 31/2 months working on this remodel so seeing this progress is a great feeling.
I have to give Andy the praise, he is stubborn, opinionated and a perfectionist.  In this case those are all very good traits.  When we couldn't find anyone to help lift the 150# sink from the floor to the counter his solution was brilliant.  He borrowed a hydraulic lift from work and we slid the  sink on to it, wheeled it into the kitchen and let the lift do all the work.  A couple of pinched fingers and a few curse words and the sink was in place.

10" deep, great for big pots or giving the dog a bath.

loving this spray wand

The very first thing that had to go on the new counter was the coffee pot.  The little corner of a box on the right side is chocolates.  Got to keep the head worker fueled up.

All three kitties have just worn them selves out supervising the projects.  Here they are finally able to take a break late Saturday afternoon.
