Documenting three more days of slavish dedication to the kitchen

When I last checked in, Dada had erected the new wall just prior to the arrival of Mamaw and Dadaw. The next day was when it all started looking so luscious, when Dadaw lent his expert hands and limbs to the installation of top cabinets.




Look! The fridge has a home! And Dadaw installed some pipes for the plumbing in the new wall. While that occurred, Isaac played outside with the babysitter and Jacob succumbed to the mad nap-conjuring skillz of the Mamaw.



There was much going to and fro by the menfolk to procure things, so that was just about that for the day.

Tuesday was lots and lots of work of the invisible kind. Our resident expert Dadaw rerouted the gas lines from one wall to another for our new stove placement, and Dadaw wired the new layout to carry the necessary electric juice. And more procurement, this time to Sears to buy some pipes for the natural gas, accompanied little people:


Later, we learn that Jacob-wrangling is a full-time job...

...as Dada fills in his wall over Dadaw's new plumbing and builds a short wall to complete the fridge's new home:



Dada then pried up over half of the old flooring down to the plywood and laid down some backerboard over which to begin installation of bottom cabinets. Also, with the new wiring, the menfolk installed task lighting under the cabinetry:



Today while we were at the zoo, Dada built frames to support the bottom cabinets and installed those along the wall with the fridge.


Before the day was done, Dada had cut a hole in the cabinet "filler" for the sink and purchased a tile saw. Tomorrow Dadaw will reroute the plumbing to the new sink, the fridge, and the dishwasher, and Dada will begin tiling the countertop.

Are you tired just reading that? These guys are out of control.
