Days 19-22






We have a kitchen floor AND a new pantry door! Randy was very busy while I was away this weekend! I wanted him to write this since he is the one that did all the work, but I guess he is too tired..can't imagine why?? Randy took Thursday and Friday off work. Thursday he spent installing a new pantry door. Remember the other ugly one? Well, we have a new pretty white door! We still have to paint it and add trim around the door. Randy said he spent Friday cutting the tile. He initially was able to borrow one from someone, but it was too small, so he had to rent one instead. Saturday was spent tiling the kitchen and laundry room and today he did the grout. I was a little hesitant about the grout color choice (even though the color made my list) because I thought it might be a little too light and it would stand out too much. But it looks awesome!!! We are so happy with the look of it.

So this week we have to get our cabinets installed because my Uncle is hopefully coming out this weekend to install the granite countertop. So, now I've got to go pick out a sink. It's all coming together now and I could possibly, hopefully, have a new kitchen in the next 10 days or so. WooHoo!!

I'd also like to take this time to remind you all that we still have a lovely, working white fridge which will not match in our new kitchen. The accountant (BofA) says that we can't afford a new black fridge (which will match), so we are still taking donations to put toward our new, donated, working, black fridge :)

Oh, and did I mention....that Randy has never done any of this before? Um, yeah. He rocks.
