Lots of Deliveries, Not as Much Installations

One step closer to being a real kitchen today; Pete installed the oven in the wall cabinet! You can even see the LED timer is on now. It's just the right height that we don't have to bend over to see if anything's ready yet, too. Don't have to the bendover to check on the turnovers.

That deep cabinet to the left of it is the pull-out pantry, and we have the hardware for it apparently, but don't have the cabinet front panel. However, we have about 6 panels that we can return. Something got goofed in their ordering system, and we just have to make a trip down to Ye Olde Swedish Warehouse Uff Da.

The wall cabinets now have the glass doors, too. They're frosted glass with a mid 20th century modern etched pattern. Actually, it's more of an early 21st century international home style pattern (aka Ikea pattern). Again; it's one baby step closer to kitchendom.

In the front yard, Steve has started stacking the blocks for the planter walls. Not much more in the way of siding today; looks like the effort was on the blocks.

And the main bathroom light fixtures came; picked them up on the way home tonight, but didn't have time to install them yet.

And the closet doors from Home Depot finally arrived today; I ordered them way back on September 19, and they had to come all the way from Oregon. 3 1/2 weeks and they look like they were assembled in haste. I'm a bit disappointed, but I also don't think most people will notice. I ordered three more doors for the basement from the same people. At any rate, Pete got one half of the entry closet installed; Heather's closet doors go in tomorrow perhaps. Then it's kitchen flooring time!!!

So what's up? Did you watch the debate tonight? I had a DRB meeting to go to at 6:30 so only was able to catch the first half hour. It sounded like McSame was going for the jugular, but BO just kept his cool, slammed McSame for not denouncing the crazy people who've been yelling "Kill him!", and all in all stayed very presidential.

Only 16 days left until we're supposed to be ready to move in, and only 20 days left until the election. Big days ahead for sure. Take care.
