Are we done yet?

Well, it's been 11 months...yes, 11 MONTHS...since we began our little remodeling project. I truly thought this would be completed by the Christmas break...of course I didn't think it would be Christmas of the NEXT year! Fortunately, I can see the end of this journey of all things kitchen ...cabinets, countertops, appliances, paint, flooring, etc. What exactly did we do to our humble little kitchen? We started by removing all drywall and replaced the old window since it was old and incredibly drafty. We replaced the old electrical boxes and added some new ones, then installed new drywall. We taped, textured and painted the walls. (Now, to be fair, when I say "we" I am really meaning Randy for the most part). We found cabinets that we had to put together and install ourselves at our very favorite store (The Home Depot) and Randy did a great job, although it took FOREVER to get them all in. We installed a nice deep granite sink with a tall faucet and a cool push-button garbage disposal. Oh, and Randy put in plumbing for a dishwasher! I've never NOT had a dishwasher and it was killing me! Our countertops are finally completely installed (they were just laying on the cabinets with gravity holding them for the longest time. As soon as summer break started Randy installed the flooring, which I LOVE!! The only thing left to do are the baseboards, crown molding and door trim. We will do that when we finish the basement. Yes...we started another project. Hopefully this one won't take so long :)
