Without a Kitchen

Life is interesting at our old homestead as our kitchen is down to the studs in most places, new electrical wires and lighting cans abound, the flooring is old adhesive atop concrete and the air conditioning runs directly into the kitchen without (currently) any sheet metal directing it into the living room.

The microwave is in our game room along with the coffee pot, the refrigerator is in the garage, our camping stove is set up on the patio along with the BBQ. So meal preparation often entails obtaining frozen components from the garage, defrosting in the microwave upstairs, and cooking on the patio. Then cleanup (without a garbage disposal - Ash/Bryce we feel your pain) in the sink in our garage with the dish drainer draped on the washing machine. I feel like we should have a washing machine on the porch and a car on blocks on the front lawn.

But we manage. Carolyn has even continued with interesting and gourmet dinners and then there is always takeout/takeaway! We're hoping the electrical rough-in will be finished today, followed next week with inspections and drywall repair. Maybe the cabinets will begin to be installed in a week! That would feel like real progress.
