First Make a Mess

The dust is flying, the drills are drilling, Hubby is vacuuming the walls and floors, and I have been ordered out of the kitchen. Ahh, sweet music to my ears.


Today's project is putting more light in the kitchen. Our electrician friend is here helping Hubby put can lights in the header. The kitchen is so shadowy that I feel like I need a light attached to my forehead while making supper in order to see what I'm doing.


So far, all is going well. I have been assured that the hard work is finished, so the chances for a catastrophe happening have been considerably diminished. However, I am waiting for lightening to strike, causing the aforementioned catastrophe. It's not that I'm a pessimist, it's just that I know how things usually work around here. That being said, it does seem like things are going remarkably well. All the holes were drilled with no mistakes, no "oops! wrong spot", no unseen surprises.


I don't have any pictures to post because, although we are making progress with the unpacking, I still have not located the wires that connect my camera to the computer. I'm fairly certain that I will find what I need in one of the dozen boxes that are still packed up.


If all goes well (fingers and toes crossed) I should have a well-lit kitchen tonight.

  4. What a blessing to have a well lit kitchen. Your DH must be earning lots of brownie points. I hope you're able to move in and enjoy it all in comfort soon.

  5. I do hope you locate those camera wires soon. We can't wait to see how things are taking shape in your new home. It certainly does make a world of difference to have good lighting in a kitchen. So glad to hear hubby and the electrician pal managed to do the job without any glitches. Sounds as though things were really happening in your home yesterday. The best part was that you got to escape from having to deal with all the dust and debris :)

  6. Here's hoping!! My dining room is like that . I feel like we are always eating by candle light. Oh well Spring is almost here and I will have light till much later. Glad you enjoyed my post yesterday. I always worry when I put goofy stuff up that I'll get a bad response lol. Take care and know that I am thinking of you with all this moving. I know it can be super stressful.. Do something fun every once in awhile so you can feel human. :)

  7. Good for you! Good lighting is important in the kitchen to see clearly of course and is good for your general mood.

  9. Ditto to what Karen said. And having lots of light in a kitchen is very important so as to see all those veggies you can. I still see that picture of them in the basement and still totally amazed you do that. And I sure hope you transported them to your new house so that a someone unmentionable was unable to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    So looking forward to when you can relax, well that is if you ever do and to when your are able to enjoy your new house.

    God bless.
