Kitchen Remodel - "The Final Curtain"

Every drama comes to a close at some point. If not, it gets boring. Today - after 22 days or so - the "Final Curtain" descended on the Kitchen Remodel. Robin and I feel very lucky to have 168 photos of the old being blended with the new - a "Re-Birth", if you will. But the past is not lost - it remains in places, is re-emphasized in places, and is documented. It is not lost.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Levco Builders - Joe, Diane and Dewy - for their expertise in guiding us through all of this "trauma" and to all of their sub-contractors. At times, the project moved like "greased lightening" and at other times like "molasses in winter". This is one case where the end really does justify the means. We are totally pleased with the outcome and with our new kitchen. Now, we must learn how to use all of the digital appliances - the stove, the microwave and the dishwasher. Yes, all three are digitally controlled. It might be like having 3 VCR's when the power goes out! I can't wait.

We do hope that you have enjoyed following this project with us through the medium of the internet. And of course, you did not have to put up with the dust and the barking dog, the "confusion" of having 4 contractors in the room all at the same time and doing 4 different things and the broken sink. In another couple of weeks, we will have the window replaced. and oh yea!, now we have to pay for all of this. How's the lottery doing?
