great pictures, looking good. Smokey Mt Frank In a message dated 10/22/2011 12:20:59 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, johncgg@xxxxxxxxx writes: 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. _http://www.familychristensen.org/kitchen/index.htm_ (http://www.familychristensen.org/kitchen/index.htm) for pictures.
