Progress at De Villen

Hi Folks. We have reached a milestone: I am finally done sanding. Besides that we have installed a few more cabinets, finished the spackling, and painted the ceiling (at least the parts that needed it). Today I hooked-up the oven. Tanya was very scared, but nothing has blown up.

Here's a video montage...




In the next few days we will finish installing the rest of the cabinets. Boo-ya.

My niece Samantha entertained us with her pac man/dig dug/rally x/galaxian skills. Hope you had a good Christmas.

Happy Holidays...

What does every kitchen need?

The appliances came today. Looks pretty sharp.

Today I'm going to try to get the base cabinets in along the sink wall. Bye for now.

Progress at De Villen

We have taken another significant step -- the first two wall cabinets are in place. Tanya tries to make sure that everything is measured correctly (measure twice, cut once, then fill mistakes with caulk). But if we can carry over our success with these two we'll be in good shape.

Marking the spot to cut holes for under-cabinet lighting.

Hi!

This one can accommodate 30-inch bongs.

Tomorrow pops comes over to help me build a base for the 88 inch high pantry.

A plumber might also be consulted.

Floor

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for helping us put the floor in (and the delicious chicken soup). Just a couple more rows, the stairs and landing and we're done.

The first couple of rows were a bitch. If you ever put down a laminate floor, the trick is to secure some filler pieces between the wall and the floor. Otherwise the floor will move all over the place and people will start to get pissed.

My back is sore; my body weary.








Looks good, right? RIGHT?!?

The Lights are on at the E.'s

Greetings. Today you will see a video narrarated by my wife, BIRD (wil smif). She will walk you through all of the new and exciting changes in our kitchen's electric system. After viewing this movie, you'll know that anything is possible.

Enjoy.

Kitchen

The electricians are here. One of them is wearing a Purdue baseball hat. Not sure if that's a good sign.

Work Continues...

12/4/07 -- Biggs Misses Return Flight Home (developing)

Big Wheel fell asleep after his wake-up call and missed his flight from Arizona this morning. While waiting for the next flight BW ate a breakfast burrito and read USA Today. He is presently sitting at the gate across from Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. According to BW, Kilpatrick is not traveling with bodyguards.

Updated

Apparently BW made the next flight out (our he's at da club w/ Kwame), as he is not responding to e-mail. Bon Voyage, Bah Bah Big Wheel, wherever you are.
