Ya don't always need a trailer. you can just tow the car. We did that using
free wheeling rear hubs. Of course if your tires can't hold air your
screwed.

I just bought 4 cans to install above the island. We'll probably use

in the ceiling for other stuff.
Looking at Bamboo for the floor. He'll give me the sq ft to buy, and I'll
buy it, then either he or the contractor will tear out the old for me.
The electrical will be handled by the same dude. Moving switches and
outlets. I could do it, but I don't wanna.
We refinished the cabinets, and they are staying. Probably granite on the
counter tops. Theese guys all know good people for it, and it ends up being
the same good people, because they are cheap and good at what they do.
Might try the stair specialist across the street from me too. The neighbors
here are great.

plastic slipcuvuhs, very nice.
But seriously, it looks good. You have a very neat contractor. I like the
plan. We have a wall around the kitchen about 48" high and = while it's
open to the family room - it really divides things. That's the wall I
wanted to cut the doorway into but can't because of the drain running
horizontally through it. Hopefully you will not run into anything quite so
exciting.
The current plan is to just drop the wall down and put one big counter
top so we can have an eating area, too. You'll like that. We've had it in
a couple houses and it's nice. What 's the counter top material plan?
Are you replacing all the cabinets or just adding those few along the wall?
And what kind of flooring?

We are under way with the work on the kitchen. I started with doing the
window myself last weekend. The contractor has been here 3 days this week,
and you can see the progress. He is a friend of Nate's and is in and out when
he has time, and that is saving us a lot of money. We aren't in a hurry
anyway.
The floor guy came today, and is working on an estimate. We will probably
be trimming the opening in wood, and the knee wall by the door to match.
There will be a counter top to eat on on top of that knee wall, and you can
see where at least 3 cabinets will be where the slash on the floor with tape
is at.
Nice and open now, and we will gain a lot of storage and counter top.
