Progress Has Been Made

I'm happy to report that yesterday we finalized our kitchen design.  In 6-8 weeks our materials will arrive, so now we have to demo the old kitchen.  I'm happy to have that hurdle behind us!

We also went to the slab yard again and selected our granite.  We selected a pale stone--Valley White.  It's gorgeous white with some pale tones of tan/gray and a little bit of bordeaux spotting here and there.  A decision on the window estimates is coming very soon, so things are moving along.  It's looking like move in time will be in June.  I don't want to venture a guess at what time in June because I will just be wrong and then feel upset when it doesn't happen.  If there is one thing we've learned on this journey it is to always expect a delay.  It's been a hard lesson, but spending more time in the planning stages will make for a better result later.

I'm so impressed with the way Jeff is jumping in and acting as the general contractor.  He's very confident and even when he's doing something he is unfamiliar with.  He is one to always handle things with grace.  He knows how to get things done, and I respect that quality in him so much.  If he doesn't know what he's doing he will research the heck out of it and eventually figure it out.  I wish I had that kind of patience.

Happy demolition this weekend:-)
