What a happy day when those cabinets were installed. After all of the chaos, mess, and waiting once the cabinets arrived it seemed like ‘it’ was really going to happen. Here are the kitchen cabinets, just waiting to be hung.
 They look like little soldiers all in a row - ready to get to work Construction began in mid-June. On the first of August the sheet-rock was delivered. What an exciting day!
It seems quick now, but at the time it couldn’t go fast enough for me. We were in a temporary apartment; and it was just awful. All of our household goods were in storage.

Once construction got started (it started about 6 months later than we were initially planning) things moved pretty quickly.
