Practically done now, except that the lazy susan arrived with a big crack in the side. We were able to use the broken one as a space saver in order to install the other cabinets, but it pushed us back on getting the countertops measured. At this point, who knows when installation will be for those. So the below picture you can see the only appliance we have installed is the refrigerator.
If you go back to a previous post, you will see that our prior cabinets were quite a bit shorter since there was a 12in soffit above them, now we have cabinets that go to the ceiling. Guess who is going to need a step stool to get to items? It will take some strategic planning on our part on where to store items. Most used will go on the shorter shelves, items rarely used goes up top and towards the back. But with the storage we are gaining, I have no problem with planning. :-)
Another rather exciting event happened this weekend also....while I was out mowing the lawn, a storm decided to head in. I was kind of watching it move in so I was just booking it to get the front lawn complete before it hit...but I did not make it. I had maybe two lines that were 6 feet long left and the bag got too full so I had to dump it and then it just started hailing on me. It was only pea-sized hail, but who knew what was coming up behind. So I had enough time to dump the bag, get the lawn mower in the garage and get under cover before it started pouring on me. So, needless to say, our front lawn had a mohawk until later in the afternoon when I was able to finish the rest of the lawn. And as it looks right now, I don't see myself mowing the lawn much more until the baby is born. The mowing isn't bad, it is the bagging. Lifting the bags and shaking the grass out takes a lot of energy. But if I need to do it, I will, just at a much slower pace.
