Oh praise, uh, me, I guess. The dishwasher is back in service. Halleh-frickin-leujah. Kitchen remodeling is the pits, until you reach some sort of milestone, like not having to wash dishes in the bathtub. Actually, we reached that particoolar milestone about a week ago. The dishwasher’s gonna be workin’ OT tomorrow.
Time to finish my very strong rum unt coke, and go make lewd gestures at the wife…

After you had her kitchen out of commission that long... it's gonna be another two months, one week, and three days before the lewd gestures get you anywhere. She's seen the TV shows, and she knows that real men finish a major kitchen remodel, a magazine-quality job, in 48 hours. Best get comfy on the couch!
Just kidding, of course. Got any photos? The kitchen, not the wife.
The kitchen was a true horror before - vinyl on MDF cabinets that had gotten wet, 6'6" ceiling, trampoline floor, and the most amazing vinyl flooring you've ever seen. We've got some pics, I'll get some up eventually.did<!---->Cure Diabetes - Death Valley 2006!<!---->

Congratulations!!
Sometimes.... on some jobs.... seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as you near completion, is far more gratifying than the actual moment of completion.
It's that moment where the weight of the world is lifted and you know you've almost put that baby to bed. Until the next one.......

Except I've only got three cabinet boxes set and countertopped, no drawers built, no uppers built, no doors or fronts, and the fridge is still in the living room. So the light at the end of the tunnel is sorta like the power light on a computer seen from a couple blocks away. I think, though, that we already have more useable counter space than we had 3 months ago. And the maple edging is sooooo sweet!Onwards...did<!---->Cure Diabetes - Death Valley 2006!<!---->

Heh. I was prompted to do a skoosh of math. The pre-remodel kitchen had a total volume of about 48 cu. yards.The deconstruction and reconstruction processes overfilled a 20 yard dumpster. BADLY overfilled. The guy who came and picked it up was not amused.did<!---->Cure Diabetes - Death Valley 2006!<!---->

Yeah, I can tell that everytime I pick up the bill and see additional charges for overfilling :)

Don't feel bad, the dumpster drivers hate me too. In fact, I'm pretty sure they hate everybody. Might be a job requirement.View Image
