Almost all your base cabinets belong to us!

Another really long weekend full of work, but all the base cabinets are in place and secured. We even were able to get some of the drawers and doors installed. Woohoo!

The stove and refrigerator are back from their vacations in the back yard and living room. They had a nice time, but are happy to be home.

No counter or sink yet :-( We really can't do a whole lot until those get done.

It this starting to actually look like a kitchen again or what..... don't answer that...

The glass doors don't look nearly so fancy surrounded by the rest of the cabinets. Oh well, we sacrificed design for functionality. My wife wanted a pullout pantry and utility cabinet more than the nice clean look of the glass front doors hanging by themselves.

The big empty boxes are for a pullout pantry and utility cabinet/broom closet.

A peek inside. The wife loves all the drawers and pullout sliding things all over the damn place. I'd probably be more enthusiastic if each and every one didn't have to be put together then installed.

I can say it's 200x nicer than our old 1970's cabinets. Every drawer and sliding door has that "soft close" feature where you just start pushing the drawer in and it closes by itself with absolutely no slaming.

We're finally on the downhill slope. After a bit more installing it will be time for the counter-top (which we are tiling ourselves... yikes) and back-splash (again with the do it ourself crap), but the end is in sight. I'm crossing my fingers that we can get it done in a few more weeks.
