Back in Business

And we're back to a functioning kitchen! After almost four weeks without a kitchen sink, we now have a beautiful one that has water and a drain and everything. You might not think it's amazing, but it is, at least for people who have been eating off of paper plates, licking utensils clean, and doing dishes in the bathroom. In addition to our sink and lovely faucet, we also have a new garbage disposal and a dishwasher. And it hasn't been all about utility: we've also finished putting the doors on all the cabinets, along with the knobs and handles. There are probably some in-between photos, but we're going to cut to the chase:

We needed a little help from our plumber Michael to feel good about the plumbing setup. He was a great help today.




And there we are. Cabinets, counters, a working sink, a dishwasher, and a cluttered dining/living room in the distance.



Another angle.







To celebrate, we made a nice home-cooked meal of pizza. It's been tough to cook things without a sink, so there have been a lot of microwave meals. Needless to say, it was delicious. But not as delicious as sliding a few of the vegetable remnants from the counter directly into our undermount sink. Sweetness.

There are still many things to attend to, but we're just happy we can live like normal people while we work on them.
