Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I have been tardy with updates but there has been quite of bit of progress. We went to Timbertown on the weekend and they let us return 5 boxes of unused flooring and then we also picked out 150 feet of baseboard. The baseboard is a nice 5/8″ thick and about 4″ tall […]

granite install complete

Friday, December 7th, 2007

The granite installers showed up right on time got the granite all installed in about 3 hours total time. Because the kitchen is fairly small they had quite a difficult time getting the two pieces in properly, they ended up having to move the stove out of the way after the one piece was […]

not too much progress lately, lots of vists to IKEA

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

There hasn’t been too much progress lately. Found out that the person that built the IKEA order at IKEA included the wrong cabinets for above the stove and fridge. They were the super deep cabinets, we ended up keeping the 24″ deep cabinet for above the fridge but I had to once again […]

flooring progress

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Just a couple pictures of the flooring that has gone in, they are about 1/3 of the way done I would say. It is looking pretty good so far, but it sure feels different right now, I think it will feel better once all the furniture is moved back into the room, right now […]

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Cindy and I went to the granite shop today to take a look at the slab they had for us. We were originally told they were getting around 10 slabs in and we would likely be able to get a choice of the one we wanted, however there was some kind of mix up […]

This past weekend Cindy and I picked out the handles for the kitchen cabinets and pantry. We ended up going with a stainless steel square tube handle from Lee Valley. They are a nice chunky handle that still looks fairly modern.

For the upper cabinets we’re using the one listed as “B” in […]

My local safeway had a video rental machine installed a few weeks ago and I tried it out for the first time. New release dvd rentals for $1.49. It was super easy and convenient and they had quite a decent selection if you are looking for newer movies.
Get great free widgets […]

passport madness!

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Wow it has been a long time since posting anything at all. The other week I tried to get a passport and get one quickly and I failed. I made the mistake of letting my passport expire and then thought I needed one to go to Mexico so I was in a […]

don’t you think they should keep dogs on a leash here?

From the UK show Balls of Steel here is a clip called ‘The Bunny Boiler’. This is such a great show, pity the only place I have seen is it online. The girl in the clip tries to pick up another girl’s boyfriend in front of her and then hilarity ensues.
