This is an Improvement

This is how the kitchen looks now. Fans are gone and the stove is plugged in. Some guys spent the better part of the day today patching the large holes in the walls :) They are coming back first thing Monday morning to continue working. A tile guy stopped by yesterday to check out the back splash tile -- I told him if he couldn't find it I wouldn't be heartbroken and I already did pick out an alternative in case he can't find the same one (I didn't like it much anyway). A cabinet guy whose name is Mike Vick (not the football player I presume?) is coming by later today to look at the cabinets he needs to rebuild. We rented a house in Hilton Head for the week of Thanksgiving -- when the floors are being done and we have to be out of the house -- and got it approved by the insurance company. I ordered a new microwave and mentioned to the guys this morning that if they could NOT punch a hole in the sewer pipe while installing it, that would be appreciated :)
