Moon white and Stilts

A few little big updates for today.

First, as I type, the cabinets are in our possession. This means that some day soon we will have a functional kitchen again, and today it seems so much closer then yesterday.

The last week has dragged and lagged. Nothing exiting. We had all of the grey tile ripped up (an expense we weren't planning on, but a)we couldn't match the 25+ year old tile to fill in spaces that are now going to be exposed and b)didn't particularly like it anyways and c) needed to call in a professional when the DIY methods proved difficult. $500 later, we have no floor in the kitchen/laundry/mudroom. Whoooo!

Other then that the week was spent building up the walls and ceilings and refining the drywall to prepare for the cabinets. 

Drywall stilts. See below. 

In other news, now that we have an intact ceiling, does anyone out there want to buy a pair of drywall stilts?

The other adventure was to the stone yard where I went to choose the slabs of granite that will make up our counters. The color/granite we had chosen is called "moon white" and apparently it's a best practice to go to the yard and actually choose the piece yourself from the options there.

To be honest, they all looked the same to me, but it was cool I guess to go over there. It was very very dusty as you can tell from these pictures...



Hard hat, patent leather and pearls...something doesn't belong...



The chosen slab of moon white. See you next week future counter!
