JUST THE THREE OF US

we went and picked up our new kitchen countertops THIS saturday...........

and NEXT saturday we will be taking part of them BACK to the store..........we hope!

the sales guy typed in the incorrect sink into our order.  when we opened the box we noticed it was completely wrong.....

so, back to the store we went......the section that was wrong was reordered for us.....and about an hour later, after much arguing we worked out a deal with the manager to receive some money back for our inconvience....hubby was not happy with the measley $50 they were wanting to give us for our inconvience.....so we continued to discuss with them the disadvantages of not having a working kitchen for another 2-3 weeks.....the cost of eating out or the fact that we had waited longer then the original time frame in the first place to get our countertops......

so, now we sit waiting for another two weeks for the replacement to arrive.....

in the meantime.......

we installed the new dishwasher......the island countertop....the desktop....and the section to the left of the stove........

the last two sections that make up the biggest chunk will just have to wait......in the meantime we RE connected the water so that we will be able to use the kitchen as a kitchen.....and not eat out every night.......

we would have liked to have ALL the work done by the end of the weekend but it just wasn't meant to be.........

instead we had an almost 80 degree day on sunday and were able to get lots of work done outside in the yard.

so, i leave you with just a sneak peak at part of my new kitchen.
