Frost on the pumpkin this am...weatherman just said 55 for tomorrow but rain...BLEAH! So I'm rippin' 'n a tearin'...rippin' 'n a tearin up the kitchen for it's new look. Already wrecked out the old coffee bar,striped the wallpaper,scraped the ceiling and today I will finish painting the ceiling so I can move on to the walls....then all those stinking cabinets have to be emptied,hardware remove,cleaned/re-painted(kitchen hardware is D%$#! expensive so I will recycle),washed down w/ degreaser,primed then painted. Somewhere in there I have to get the tile guy in to measure so I know how much tile,thinset and grout I need to pick up. Hub's has worked a deal w/ him for bartered labor. Our tile laid for some dirt work for him so that's a huge relief on the budget.
