Post#11 - Kitchen Table

Good morning everyone,


Last week I got some very good news about my job. I am returning to my beloved school, Northern Secondary as of January 9^th. I am so happy and I'm looking forward to working in my community once again. The kids are also very excited about this as dad will be much closer to home.

This past week we did a lot of little jobs in our kitchen. I installed the water line to the fridge on Monday. Adrien was quite excited as now he can get his own ice and water and believe me he is drinking a lot of water. I'm also happy because I will now have a constant source of ice for my rums. We also installed our chandelier that goes over our kitchen table. We have the same chandeliers in our recroom in the shop.  The next picture is one of the chandelier. Louise finished sealing the grout on the tiles.

On Monday we received our kitchen table. It is made our of wormy maple and was custom made for us by The Cutter's Edge.  They are the ones that installed the cabinets in our kitchen. They are simply awesome. Our table extends at both ends by 18". We bought 8 ladder back chairs to go with the table. The next pictures is the table in our dining room.

I also started removing the mohogany doors from the various rooms upstairs and installing the Bostonians doors in their place. The biggest part of the job is not the installation but the varnishing of those doors. It takes me about 6 hours per door to varnish. So far I've installed 3 doors and have one left to go. I hope to install the last one on Monday.  I hope to finish varnish and installing mouldings, baseboards and casings by the end of the week. The next pictures was taken in my shop where I'm varnishing the doors.

We hope that we will receive our countertop by the end of the week so that next week we can move back into our kitchen. The gas for our oven should be installed by mid-week. I have about a day's worth of work to install the plumbing for our sink and dishwasher. The next picture is our project so far. We are almost done. Have a great week everyone.
