@MelissaH  I agree, you can always change a large sink with the use of a dishpan you cannot make a divided sink into a larger one.  This sink comes with some wire baskets and a couple of plastic container things that looks like they are for silverware.  It's been a while sink I selected the sink so my memory is faulty.

Countertops and sink are in!  Now everything is delayed until after New Year's.

Exhaust hood installed today.  There is some stainless cover for the ducting that should have been ordered, but was not. Hopefully it will arrive this week.  Photo is crooked because I was holding the work light in one hand and camera phone in the other.  This is the best of several attempts.

@Smithy  I may have a pull out pantry but you are traveling the country in style.  Love seeing your adventures.

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

@IndyRobI need more cats.  Although Miss Ella is such a princess, she'd probably be put out.

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

Cabinets are in!  Finally feels like something is being done, rather than torn apart.  Poor lighting since those are not in yet.

you can see Ella the cat checking out the pull out pantry

Everything is painted and the cabinets are being installed today.

I can't figure out how to turn on the lights, perhaps there is is no electricity.  Drywall is done and mostly mudded.  So @Porthosthese are for you the engineer.  Hopefully more progress next week.

[Cuisinart Recall]

Oh geez. I really want to check my 37-38 year old and my 7 year old Cusi's but everything is packed up during the kitchen remodel.  Hopefully I remember to register for a new one once I can find them.

@MetsFan5_{its just me. So I get to make all decisions, probably why I hired designers, I have no iidea what I'm doing.}  

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

It's pretty boring right now.  Drywall is in and I think skim coat was appplied today.  Probably texture tomorrow.  Didn't know I had choices for that but the designers helped with that.  Backsplash tile showed up in boxes on the dining room floor.  Cabinets should be installed on the 22nd if all goes according to schedule.  So far the GC has been accurate with that.

[The Soup Topic (2013–)]

@ElsieD  that's the Italian Wedding Soup recipe I always use.  The dill adds a nice spark.

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

Things are progressing but photos are boring unless you like to see electrical wiring.  My son is working at his real job all day and then working until midnight on my job.  The only thing the contractor did today was remove a lot of debris in my small condo yard and ask for another check.  And a change order for jack hammering the water outlet out of the slab since the fridge is moving. Dinner is leftover IP pasta with pesto and wine.  I think the wine helps keep the dust down.  Or perhaps the wine helps me not care that dust is everywhere 

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

We did have traps and poison in the attic quite a while ago.  I think it died an unnatural death and desiccated.  No real progress to show today. The venting for the fan was moved but boring for pictures.   However son's girlfriend is cooking salmon in the CSO and pasta with pesto in the IP for dinner. I'm impressed since I've not been that adventurous since the remodel started.  I went to a going away party tonight and had enough appetizers and wine that I'm going to bed and will not see the results 

[Dinner 2016 (Part 11)]

@Norm Matthews. Chili looks very appetizing. And I just saw the very same placemats at my neighbors.

The boyfriends dog has dispatched 3 chickens so we have to be careful when entering the coop or the big German Shepard follows us in.  The chickens are in a custom built coop and have lots of laying boxes and room to roam.  And we grow organic kale and greens for them.  

['Tis Hunting Time—A smallish blog]

I've really enjoyed this @Shelby. The kill what you eat and eat what you kill seems meaningful to me but am not there yet and probably will never be.  The boyfriend is a gardener and not a hunter.  We have 15 chickens and get about a dozen eggs a day- some are young. We are growing a lot of what we eat but have a long way to go before we reach your level of living off the land.

my son is doing the electrical this weekend.  Can lights are in.  Power for fridge, micro/convection oven and dishwasher is in.  Also pictured is what my son calls an ' artifact of remodeling', a rat skeleton.  Yuck

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

These two guys are great and have worked with the contractor many times before.  They are coordinating everything so I just have to pick from the choices they give me and write checks. 

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

Cabinets came out today except for the ones the plumber has decided he wants to re-purpose.  And I now get a small discount on his work.  He'll take those tomorrow.  Selected the cabinet color, Swiss Coffee, which is a warm white.  Anyway that's what the designers told me.  I had to hire designers as I was overwhelmed by all the choices.  Interestingly they worked for my former mother in law  years ago.  They also helped me select cabinet hardware today.  My son thinks he can do all electrical this weekend.  

['Tis Hunting Time—A smallish blog]

So they got a deer?  And cleaned it already?  those hunters are so lucky you are feeding them all of your delicious food

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

@gfweb ah but if he's a guy I can have a drink with, I'm hoping that's good.  Besides that frivolity, I've seen his work, he's got a 20 year reputation and my son the protector (and electrician)  is totally watching over his shoulder.  Although I'm completely a trusting fool. And I've never remodeled anything before so I could be duped.  Am counting on my kid and universal good will.

[Kitchen Remodel starting now]

Nothing happened today.  Contractor had to work on another  job, the guy that gave me the reference and the guy that just re-did my will.  Tomorrow all the cabinets come out and the gas line for the stove goes in Friday.  I know this because my will lawyer, contractor and I all ended up at the same bar/restaurant for my birthday.

After a Thanksgiving hiatus, the remodel, well demo has started.  My biggest challenge will be not having a sink.  Only a small powder room downstairs so we have water but nothing to wash the Instant Pot in.  Bathtub is upstairs.
