I wouldn't have before we started building our house. I expected to be in the house in June...of last year. And we are hoping it will be by the end of the summer this year. When people ask us our move in date we say April of last year as we've quit giving expected move in dates as they are always wrong.

We're really happy that the beams worked out so well. :)<br /><br />Renee, it's just a sketch, and not an accurate one at that. The shelves on the right will just be as high as the corner cabinet. I gave up on level and symmetrical awhile back.

Oh yes, and the breeze through the walls too. It seems though, that the closer it looks to being finished, the longer the list of details gets!<br /><br />Bernadine, agreed. If I had to pay a contractor and workman, we'd still be stuck with the old kitchen, LOL<br /><br />Lynda, I'm so blessed to have him. And he's so willing to indulge me! I am probably driving him a bit nuts at times. OK, not probably. I am driving him a bit nuts at times, but he's just as pleased as I am with it. <br /><br />Kyle, so true about the "fun." LOL. The sink window gets the morning sun. I also get sun in my eyes at certain parts of the morning, so I may have to curtain it.<br /><br />Debbie, oh yes for the storage. That was a deliberate decision. Counter space as well. I need a large work area so the peninsula will provide that plus more storage.<br /><br />Cassandra, thanks! Now all we need is to get the plumbing working so I can use the sink!<br /><br />Berte, thanks!<br /><br />Michele, I hope so. I'm still puzzling over where to put everything. :)<br /><br />Grace, me too!<br /><br />Jaime, I think he's one of the best pyrographers I've ever seen. It really adds a special touch to the entire kitchen. :)<br /><br />Badgerpendous, it's a relief to see it coming together. Yes, Riley's a bit of a grump these days. :)<br /><br />Sam, thanks!<br /><br />Janice, I hadn't thought of that but we will definitely need to celebrate. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-10138389694803869422012-05-17T13:55:59.103-04:002012-05-17T13:55:59.103-04:00I sure hope you have a bottle of champagne chillin...I sure hope you have a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge to pop open when this project is complete . . . and it looks like it will be quite soon.
