So what the hell happened to MartiP?

Um, she's in the middle of a kitchen remodel. Which her contractor SWEARS will be finished before November 12th. Which is good, because my two sisters fly in on the 21st from SC to spend Thanksgiving with me!

So far they've knocked down the high bar that sort of closed off the kitchen, re-routing some plumbing and wiring:

So good to hear from you. :o)
Hope all is going well, bet you are looking forward to it being finished.
Would be great to see photos when its all done.

I want to cook so badly, I can't stand it! Microwave meals and takeout are getting really old. I'll post some finished pics when it's done.

Hi, good to know you are still around. Kitchen looks like it will be fabulous.

My sister is coming from Calif to spend Thanksgiving with me.

[martip]

Oh, how fun! I love when my sisters come down - I don't see them nearly as much as I'd like.

[martip]

She's an odd one sometimes, but not that odd. ;-)

Oooh, a new kitchen! Yum! It looks as though it's going to be fabulous. Enjoy.

I plan to thoroughly enjoy. I found a recipe for a walnut apple gorgonzola tart that I'm dying to try!

My cabinets are actually custom. No fit-together parts. So to build the new cabinet over the fridge, for instance, it was done by hand, routing out the frames so the doors match the others, etc. He had to sort of modify and re-build the cabinet for the ovens, as the new ones wouldn't fit the old cabinets. Same with the granite - it had to be templated and custom cut from the raw slab

How brave you are to attempt remodelling on that sort of scale but it is starting to look really impessive.
Lovely to see you bak here, and so obvious what has kept you too busy to post.
Welcome back.
