big changes !

big changes since the last post ... most of the kitchen tile is in and the grout set ... it turned out lighter than we wanted it so we're pursuing a way to make it stand out less and blend in more ! laying the tile wasn't too bad ... matt did the cutting so he could use power tools and i just ruined my hands playing in the mortar and grout ! (so yes we have a water saw adn you are more than welcome to borrow it !) .... tonight we moved the refrigerator and oven in ... it made a huge difference and helps put everything in perspective ... matt also rigged upa temporary counter top with a sink ---- to be honest i think he was antsy to try out the dishwasher and so far so good ! we'll be adding a cabinet over the fridge and also one next to it mounted on the wall ...
