This weekend was a short one for Steve, as he had to work on Saturday. He arrived late in the evening but got up early on Sunday to get started with the plumbing. He started mapping his plumbing plan of the island, put all the pieces together, cut all the wholes and by afternoon he installed everything. He took a break in the afternoon to route a bunch of baseboards and window trim so I could prime and paint it all while he was busy working with plumbing. He also spay painted the hinges for the island cabinet doors. We want them to match the pewter pulls.
The dark island cabinets have pewter pulls and hinges and the back cabinets, that are light have the bronze pulls and hinges. Details, Details, Details that take a lot of time!
Sunday was a long day then we had dinner with Derek, grilled chicken breasts, roasted asparagus, salad and a rustic berry galette for dessert. Derek had arrived Saturday with a load of veggies and salad makings.
Monday was Martin Luther King's birthday and our office was closed, Derek didn't have to work too, so we taped off the pantry cabinet area and he sprayed the inside of the pantry door with Chalk-board paint. We now have a place for Steve to note what food items he is out of or would like for the next shopping trip. Derek did a great job and it looks great.
I also gave the island cabinet doors one more coat of poly, since they were a bit beat up with all the counter top work going on. Now everything is uniform and consistent in its finish. They are ready to hang.
Steve will finish the plumbing this week and do electrical for the island next weekend. Hopefully we can make our first full dinner in the kitchen for the Super Bowl weekend! I am not holding my breath however.
