Bud and I went to look at kitchen cabinets this afternoon. When we returned, we were shocked to discover that we don't have back steps anymore!
In addition to the Bobcat that arrived yesterday, we also have a trackhoe now. (Bud'll be driving all over the place soon if we're not careful!) They must've used it to drag the concrete steps away from the house.
This morning, four or five truckloads of dense-grade gravel arrived. They filled the garage foundation and created a makeshift driveway to help keep mud under control and to ease the steep transition from the front yard to the back.
Also, the HVAC subcontractor moved the existing unit to its new home and made room for the two others that will join it at some point. The hosta bed that we worked so hard on this spring took quite a beating.
At the cabinet place, we found a style/finish we think we'll like. Choosing cabinets is like building a mini-house. So many decisions. Door style. Wood species. Finish. Glaze. Pulls and handles. Molding. Specialty drawers. And who knows what else that I can't remember.
It made us happy that the cabinet maker was a genuinely nice guy. He said he'll have a bid early next week, which is a great change of pace. We still don't have an estimate from the first place we visited, and that trip was at least three or four weeks ago.
