Cabinet installation - Day 1

Wow! The cabinets look great and the excitement is building to get this project complete. Of course, I know the most difficult part is yet to come - waiting the 10 days for the counter tops to be fabricated, but this is exciting nonetheless. Anyway, it seems like things are on track - no major surprises yet - and the gas line will be run today while Jim and his team (of one!) finish the cabinet installation.

Naturally, the pictures show the utter chaos currently consuming the house and as those of you that know Carolyn and I, it is a bit daunting. Yes, I will admit we are 'neatniks' - those people with Felix Unger tendencies (without the outrageous compulsion he displayed) so the 'displacement' is taking a toll on our nerves - especially me as I have been working from home most of this time. To say I have a bit of cabin fever is an understatement. Heck, I was overjoyed to cruise to Home Depot this morning to pick up a few new drawer handles as the ones we purchased wouldn't fit the narrow drawers in the island...

So without further ado, here's today's pictures!
