Year 2 - Day 250

The kitchen installation guys are here! Mark Briganti and Stew (and Kevvie (the cat) has buried himself deep under the bed covers) to get away from it. The cats really have put up with a lot even though these two guys are not that noisy.

I can say already what a good decision it was to hire these guys rather than do it ourselves. We hired them really because of a box-in that had to be done around a duct but they have spent most of the morning shooting their levels due to the unlevel floor and strategizing how to do the boxed in corner and make the 2-piece crown molding build-up work with the cabinet height and the ceiling height.

Gil, our kitchen guy, didn't like our idea to mount the wall cabinets a little higher but that is exactly what Mark has suggested otherwise there is a 7.5" gap above the cabinets. We will move the cabinets 1-2" higher on the wall and it will be imperceptible and then the molding will work better and be easier to work with.

So far so good. We are also shooting a time lapse of the guys installing the kitchen - stay tuned.
