Progress In The Kitchen - Day 1


Bob the Builder came today!
He started putting up the corrugated metal wall in the kitchen - love.

Bob moved where the light was and put up a new fixture.
Something sleek and mid-century friendly. Using mostly drum lights in the house for continuity.
Purchased from Amazon for $40.

Not in the kitchen, but still important -- Bob installed a new thermostat.
I never could figure out the other one, and it needs to be simple for AirBNB guests.
We picked up this and the faucet for the kitchen sink at Lowe's in the morning.

We had purchased a black countertop from Habitat Restore about a month ago -- only $50.
Turns out it lacked about 3" in depth, as opposed to a normal countertop.  Sigh. Time to jump in the van again.  We re-donated the black countertop back to Restore.  They didn't have any countertops for us to choose at this point.  So we hustled over to Menard's (which we go to very infrequently, but it was close by).  They only had a few 10' in-store countertops to choose from -- I selected this one with black and touches of tan. $200, which didn't seem terrible.  At last it is ready for Bob to attach it and install the sink tomorrow.
