Week 10 and I'm starting to feel like this project may end someday. There are still many little things to do but we are making progress. We picked up our subway tiles for the back splash and the bead board for the outer side of the sink cabinet. We debated doing this in black but decided we needed more light . We did the curves for the counters with a router into the MDF. The dust even with a shop vac running under the router(my job) was horrible and is in every nook and cranny of the kitchen and living room. We've vacuumed over and over and it still seems to be taking root. We were covered with so much dust we had to strip butt naked (I know not a pretty visual)in the laundry room so we didn't leave a cloud every where we went. The batch of clothes had to be washed twice.
We have such crooked walls and funny angles that we decided to make a template before cutting the laminate. We just taped pieces of poster board together then trimmed, fit and trimmed some more for a perfect fit. AH is working on the edges getting them ready for gluing this afternoon. After they are in place the top pieces will go down with contact cement. The animals will be put in our bedroom and I will have to leave. The fumes make me nauseated and with a constant headache. Going to see Cinderella with a friend then out to eat. AH will need to use a respirator and have all the windows open, nasty stuff.
