... some battles

... are worth fighting! the end is near... the light at the end of the tunnel is no longer a flicker...omgoodness, the kitchen rennovation is almost done! it's so hard to believe that allllll those weeks ago we had looked into our sad sad lil' kitchen and saw this:


(notice cleo on the bottom right side going, "oooh, paint lid...")

and now, after over 10 weeks of flooring, trim, paint, tape, cutting, hacking, slashing, bleeding, sticking and more we now have this 'almost done look:'


yeah, sure, there's some more tiles that need to go up, some grout and more.. but it's allllmost done! all the cabinets are built too, so i jes need to call a plumber and have him/her deal with some kitchen sink fixture and fitting issues, and VOILA! we can function again! jes' thought i'd drop a quick post to show you all the status... cheers!

Y'all do good work. I can hardly wait to see the results.

I hope you won't mind, because we are redoing our patio and I am planning to post photos of the job from start to finish. I may have to do more than one post because of the number of photos.

Don't let anyone else know about it. It is supposed to be a secret.

How is that for brag and one-upmanship? What a doofus I am.

You have done some really good work and I do want to see the results.

Thanks Jack, and you will. I'm actually kicking myself already because of all the shots TOO post, that one was prolly the worst. The panned out shot is wayyy better.

But of course, once we get the appliances hooked into their appropriate water hoses and all the floor cabintry settled in... THOSE'LL be some shots baby!

Regarding one-upsmanship? Yer on dude. I'm actually going to take that FilmLoop application below on my Designer portfolio entry and create a montage from start to finish.

that'll be cool.

Cheers to you and yours. Stay good. (well, not too good)

At least you see a light...
I moved from my last house because that light at the end of the tunnel needed the bulb replaced.

I was missing a stove. It was tragedy.

It sucks while your rennovating but the fruits of labor are almost always sweeter. It looks killer!


Thanks for the compliments btw...your too kind.
