Well ... I don't know if they really qualify, but over the weekend I managed to lay the last few tiles in the entryway pattern. I know that it was on my list of things to do a really long time ago, but it's actually done now (for the record, there were 5 tiles to lay - not 3 - that really explains the delay don't you think? lol). Also, on Saturday my parents and grandparents (and sister!) were up and cleaned all the excess mortar off the tiles - one step closer to grouting. Thanks guys!
While we were working on that (and some while I was napping ... shhh!) Peter put together our third cabinet box. Technically there are 7 boxes, but we're now all finished one run with an attached corner cabinet and we have one run (with a corner cabinet) left, so I'm saying we're half done those as well. The miracle in this is that we're actually progressing at a rate similar to what I thought we could - one box a day (when we actually work on this house). At this rate we should have the bottom cabinets boxed in by the end of the week and we'll be able to order our countertop - yippee! I'm assuming there will be a delay because of Christmas, but regardless we should have a countertop installed and, depending on how quickly we work on the other stuff, a working kitchen by the end of January :) I can hardly wait!
This week the goal is to finish the cabinets and get the entryway grouted. Lofty goals, but doable!
Merry Christmas :)

Hey good luck with the house and the blog. I find that posting what you will be working on keeps you honest. If you say "this weekend I'll do X, Y and Z." Then the next week you only post pics of X, people will ask you about the rest, so it's good for goal-setting.
