Happy Easter! Whether Easter is a part of your faith, it's still a lovely celebratory day. It's 8:50 on the morning of day 7. Things are slowing down a little in the kitchen. The only real event of the day was that Tom Griffin, my painter, came in and primed the new wall.
Unfortunately, while he was here he noticed that the wall above the old counter tops was actually painted wallpaper. Because we are not going to put over-the-counter cabinets on one of the old walls, Tom is going to have to pull down the wall paper. Then it's skim, wait to dry, sand and possibly another round of skim, wait to dry and sand.
The worst part of this is the delay that it may cause. I am not sure why our contractor did not mention this issue. Surely while he was pulling down the cabinets he must have noticed the difference in the walls. I'm just glad the Tom found the issue before the cabinets were installed. I definitely don't want dry wall dust in my new cabinets!
So, on Easter Day, Tom is coming over to start the work. I am actually going to spend a little time this morning trying to remove the wall paper in hopes of saving time. Cabinets are supposed to be installed on Monday and I don't think the walls will be in order then. And of course, the cabinets have to be in before they do the final measurements for the counter tops.
But the good news is that I am super excited about the new appliances that are on their way. Above is a photo of the new fridge. It's a Dacor Epicure 36 inch Built-in Bottom Freezer Refrigerator.
Dinner last night? Pizza again from Pizza X.
