Touching base

I was told yesterday that blogs are to be updated on a regular basis, whether or not there was anything important to say. I'm new at this, but will try to post more often. What has happened since last time?
Well, cabinets are due to be delivered 6/16/09. Just before that, we'll have a planning meeting where Dan (the contractor) will present his 'project plan' time line. We'll discuss what we need to do, what he will do and when, etc.

I know we have to empty cabinets (duh!) so I'm going to start packing away the kitchen next week. I also know that Dan needs the garage for his tools. No prep on our part there - our garage is pretty neat. Our poor cars will have to sleep in the driveway, though.

Thanks to our dear friends, Mitch & Alice, I also had a couple of questions for the designer: Is the hardware on the pull-out shelves heavy duty? (Yes, each can support 100 pounds). What faceplate will be put on the electrical outlets that will be in the middle of the back splash tile? (recommended = stainless steel. Not sure yet what we'll do)

Stay tuned for more...
