Shenaniquin in the Kitchen

Naturally, Jim saw the counter and sink installation as a shenaniquin photo op.









Kitchen should be finished soon, and I can't wait.  For the most part, I think it's very pretty.  (Most others are confused, however.  "You're so brave to stain the cabinets on site!"  "So the cabinets aren't finished yet?"  Yep, folks, we're leaving them natural.  They are finished.)  The bad news is we've found about 20 things we're not happy with - bluish lights that make it seem like a lab out of a horror movie, dings, plywood hanging down below the counter, etc.  We're hoping they can fix some of those problems.  I also realized yesterday when I used the new microwave for the first time that we put it too high in the cabinet.  I'm barely tall enough to use it, and I'm not tall enough to clean it.  I am really, really, really sad about that.  Live and learn.  I'll post pictures when the kitchen's done.

Ever is the bomb.
Sorry about the microwave. But it looks like it's going to be real nice.

Love the pix! Will be curious to see the kitchen. Are the cabinets sealed, varnished, oiled or such? Otherwise, I'd be concerned about stains.

The cabinets are finished however people finish cabinets. I think there's a clear coat or something on them. They just aren't stained with a color, so people think they're not finished.

Dean is amazing. Love her in the cabinet. Love her on the counter. I like what I'm seeing of the kitchen and excited to see more. You done good.
