But I want a real kitchen Geppetto

The kitchen is coming along beautifully!!!

The fridge was delivered today…albeit with a dent—so I’m calling Lowe’s in the AM to see what we can do about that:

The new fridge looks fabulous indeed, even with its nerdy protective covering still on.

We slid the dishwasher into place, but it’s not installed yet.

And the stove, who also practices safe sex.

I’ve spent a crapload of money:

-angle grinder, bullnose tile, water bottles, ceramic tile file, tile cutting blade…$141.85 (-$49.54 because we returned that tile)

-more bullnose tile (the first kind wasn’t tall enough), 2 more cases of Pergo flooring…$90.65 (-18.61 for the case we returned because we didn’t need it after all)

-more underlay for the flooring, cabinet pulls, transition strips, wall plates, mounting bracket, door stop, drawer pull template…$135.23

-pencils, saw for cutting door trim…$29.07

-refrigerator, ice maker kit, ice maker supply hose…$498.88

I recently heard the term “house poor,” and I totally get it. Now I’m horse poor and house poor.
