KD stands for Kitchen Designer in building lingo. She pulled a few strings to get us our cabinets by Friday. We were supposed to get them on Monday, then on Wednesday (well, if you'd like to know the truth we were supposed to get them on Dec 23rd.). But, there was a big storm in Canada (where they are made) and so the truck rolled into LA on Thursday and we had to beg to get them delivered on Friday around 5:30pm. It was one of the best days of the building for me. Right up there with finally breaking ground. I think it's because once the kitchen is in, I'm ready to move in.
So when is this thing going to be finished? The short answer is never. The longish answer is as follows:
The counters will be measured for on Wednesday, should take three weeks from then.
We ordered a diswasher and a micowave/hood on Saturday, should be two weeks.
Carpet just arrived at the installers yesterday, the one for Nora's room is wrong. But hopefully we can install the rest next week.
Electrician is coming this weekend to install sconces in hall, bathrooms, and chandelier in dining room.
Contractor should be coming today until Friday to finish up some stuff. He should be busting through to the studio and installing a pocket door there. Putting in the front door.
Alec should finish the cabbinets this week/weekend.
Interior doors should be here next week, and we still have to find someone to put them in.
Exterior painting is expensive so we need to get another quote.
Finishing the deck and railing, probably Victor and Alec.
Trimming out ALL the doors and windows and the base board...poor Alec.
That's all I can think of right now.

Hey, your cookbook shelf looks a LOT like mine...
Glad you are making progress. I know you're ready to tear your hair out -- but you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Yes, let's see: Gourmet, Cooking Thin, Jacques Pepin, Best Americans...and oh yes Donna Hay. Who could live without that grilled cheese? :)
