One more day and my ten years of wishing for new countertops will be over!! For the time being, we have no kitchen whatsoever, which really stinks! It adds a whole new level of difficulty to getting the kids out of the house in the morning. Ben and Orialis (our handy-guy) took the old countertops out on Sunday, and that went pretty smoothly other than the fact that there was nothing in the walls behind the backsplash. There was a lot of patching to be done after the pry-bar went right through the sheetrock multiple times, but it wasn’t really a surprise considering the workmanship of the previous owner. Hopefully there won’t be any unforeseen issues tomorrow and by dinner-time the countertops will be installed. Orialis is coming over tomorrow night for a plumbing adventure…I’ll be at my Adobe Flash class but I’ll be under the sink in spirit.
I can’t wait to have countertops without cruddy grout lines! Maybe I’ll make a pie to celebrate…roll the crust right out on the counter. YIPPEE!!!
