Creepy Sign at Ikea
Kitchen Cabinets: One Corner Done, Almost
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.

Hanging Cabinets Over Grouted Tile
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.

Lesson Learned: IKEA Kitchen Ordering
The cabinets are here! They sit in my floorless living room, awaiting installation. Every single part I ordered arrived, with the exception of two critical parts: the frames for both the base corner and the base sink cabinets are not here. A third missing part, the frame for the high pantry cabinet, is on its way, scheduled to arrive Saturday.
DPL Knows All
This is rather disturbing. Apparently the Denver Public Library knows my expiration date! I’m going to live to be 112 years old, at which point, I assume, they will revoke my library card.

I feel the pressure, too. I’m sinking all of my money into a house. (Not into a sinking house, I hope.) Is it a wise investment? Is it even an investment? I don’t know, but I do know that I need floors to walk on and cabinets in which I can store my food.
Marx believed that the first nations to find true communism would be affluent nations such as the United States. Russia was an aberrance, attempted to skip a step, and ultimately failed in a world where capitalism had not yet hit its stride. It is unfortunate that this miscooked “communism” is stigmatized and demonized in our society. I can only hope the growing divide between the rich and poor in this country leads to a better world for tomorrow, but sinking into the cynicism of a prolonged recession affords me little optimism.
