I sealed the grout and the dishwasher, toekicks, and most of the trim pieces are in. I have yet to Waterlox the countertops (although they are already tung oiled), caulk the edges, fasten the sink, buy a faucet, hook up the plumbing, and put on a few more trim pieces. Oh, and I need a 30" electric range. Anyone have one? I also need a microwave and eventually a GE IM6 icemaker kit for my fridge.
I find this very true, especially in the midst of home renovations. However I believe this graph needs a third axis: one that shows satisfaction & creativity peaking somewhere in the lower-middle of the x-axis.
I went with butcher block. I cut them and they are ready to be sanded/fitted, finished, and installed. I also bought a sink.
The missing door is because IKEA sold me a used door with holes already drilled for a handle. Unfortunately not my handles. So I get to take it back and exchange it.
The end cabinets will also have matching cover panels on them.

didn’t work on this wall today
today’s progress
It doesn’t sound like much but the undertaking is nearing completion. Or is that the underfooting? The rails are up and the wall cabinets are being leveled and secured. I’ve placed doors on a few of them already.

Sunday’s progress: wall cabinets hung
Saturday’s progress: grouted floor
When one expects a particular response one is bound to be disappointed.
