Yes, I’m yelling! I haven’t had a kitchen since March and I want it to be done. Granted we are now in the ‘I can actually cook things’ phase of construction but with no counter top and no sink in the kitchen it is kind of annoying… way better… but still a little annoying.

Our tiles came in last week. They are beautiful, black and shiny. It is going to be awesome. However we discovered when we tried to plan when they were going in that with my hectic schedule we don’t have a free weekend until July 29. Plus the beautiful and talented Morag (kissing up is important to people who offer you their skills) is going to be around that weekend to help us unskilled lay our counter and backsplash. We are likely to have a BBQ and go swimming at Dan and D’s as well so it will be a good time. However that does mean a few more weeks without a full kitchen. That is ok; it will be over soon…

Otherwise we’ve been unpacking some things. Ted has been working hard at putting together the office. He is very excited to have 3 crappy computers up and running and networked together. I’ve been trying to work on the spare room/sewing room. We ordered a new futon mattress (it came in with the tiles) and I won a futon cover on eBay just last night. I am going with a very simple Asian theme in there. However, we can’t find the hardware for the futon so I can’t put it together. Arrrg. It must be in a box somewhere… but where I have no idea! Plus as we’ve been trying to unpack these rooms we realize that we really need shelving or closet systems for the spare room and the office. I just can’t see spending $300 on shelving for each of those rooms… that seems excessive. So if anyone knows a cheaper way to organize closets… please share!
