Due to the help of many friends (thank you Dean, Greg, Amy, Kasia, Margie!!), we now have a painted kitchen!! Yahoo! Looks more and more like a normal room (that's missing flooring and furniture). The electrician popped by and put up a few lightbulbs, some switches.
We pushed to get all the priming done in the whole area done by Saturday at noon, for the drywall inspection. Consistent with our experience, they did not show up. So annoying, they've already put us back a few weeks. We decided to just go with it, and continue on with the painting and not let them cause anymore delays. We kept with the same colour as the living room, one less decision to make : ). With the dark of the drywalerl is the light of friends. We super appreciate all the support from the friends that gave up some of their sunny weekend to help out - you are the absolute best! I also enjoyed the post-painting socializing, suppers and drinks out back, so not all work and no play this weekend. We've felt quite limited in our ability to have friends over these past few months, very much looking forward to opening the doors again. Our next deadline is June 17, when the countertop people come. By that time, need painting done (check), floors in (nope), and cabinets installed (nope). Not feeling too optimistic but will keep pushing forward. So this is a potentially a big weekend coming when we tackle those 150+ boxes and install the kitchen cabinets. Otherwise, life hums along. Ottawa is peak spring pushing into summer. Sundays Bike days are back, Yippee! What a lovely ride this morning along the canal. Garden is starting to filled up, rapini definitely growing the fastest. . And finally, Go Raptors!!
