Out with the old

It might not look like much, but this is 1,100 lbs (!) worth of the old kitchen headed for the dump. Took me 35 minutes just to get it all unloaded and sweep out the bed of the truck.

The new and improved kitchen is starting to take shape. The big news of the week is we have washed a couple of loads of dishes in the dishwasher- first time in 10 years we can say that! All the tile for the countertops and backsplash is sitting in the basement. Vern has been building cabinets in his shop. Things should improve dramatically visually next week. Stay tuned.

Also, forgot to mention this in the last wine country post. Last Sunday, we finally saw somebody doing the "spitting" thing at a winery. He picked up the bucket off the bar, buried his face in it and let fly. Looked like he was hurling- completely gross. We definitely won't be indulging in that bit of wine culture etiquette.

Does the bigger font/picture size work better? I think the bigger pic size is better, but I should stick with the old font. Hit the 'comments' link below if you have any feedback.
