Stuff and Kitchen doings

First the stuff...in no particular order

Here's a picture of the boys finishing the kids mile at the Dino Dash



Kevin had the next-to-last cross country meet yesterday; finished 24th overall (all the kids ran at once, no top 7 here)....looking forward to the last meet on Monday, Kevin's hoping to finish in the Top 10 in the Open Race (it's the Greater Lansing Middle School Championship....think he has a good shot at it).

And then there's the kitchen




Still need to finish hanging the cabinet on the far side of the window....there's been a lot of rework there...first I didn't get the rail close enough to the window, so, had to rehang that...and then was stupid and put the hinges on the wrong side, and I still have to go back and redo that, and then we have to take the big cabinet down on this side of the window and install the mod (you can see the extra piece that fits over the soffit on the other cabinet) so that we have 39" doors all the way around it looks right.

Tomorrow the big dumpster arrives in our driveway, so, kitchen demolition will be in full swing this weekend as we wipe out the counter and the base cabinets and see just what we're dealing with in replacing the base cabinets. We want to move the dishwasher further away from the sink, so, I'm hoping there's enough pipe (or, enough pipe to tie into to extend the line) to do that, and then there's replacing the sink, and how that works with our hardwood floors, and, well, it's going to be an interesting weekend.
