Okay, we have a double delay today, or perhaps only one and a half depending on the cabinet situation. That was supposed to take the better part of two days and getting a late start yesterday, plus the possibility of not being able to do anything today stretches that part of the project out. We did find the knobs we’re re-using from the old cabinets though, so that’s a good thing. This section they finished yesterday aligns the sink correctly, that in turn, gives space for the corner cabinet with lazy Susan. That’s going to be a big help as everyone with those “wasted corners” knows. I understand that for new house construction, it really is less expensive for the contractor to leave “dead space”, but I don’t know how much they actually save in doing so. At any rate, we have that problem solved.

On the to paint delay. The guy who was supposed to come today, can’t fit us in with his other work, so that means getting another guy who can’t possibly start before next week. In one sense, that’s a better solution because the painter was going to need the cabinets to be completed in the kitchen anyway and now he won’t have to possibly pause in his work to let the cabinet guys finish.

I have the appliances scheduled to be delivered on Monday and if the cabinets are completed, everything should slip right into place except that they won’t be able to actually hook up the dishwasher. That will have to come later with the sink and new faucet installation. Oh, and I did find a pie safe on line like I wanted. That, however, will be another post.
