Kitchen

We spent the day in the kitchen and dining room today.   Mom primed the kitchen this morning.  I scraped the wall of the dining room that will get cabinets.  Dad moved an electric outlet.  It's original location was too low and would be blocked by the future cabinets.  It's now higher and will be usable.  At the same time, since there was already a hole in the wall, Dad installed an outlet in the garage (it's on the other side of the wall).  That will be nice since there was only one in there.

After a lunch break, I got to work texturing the wall of the dining room.  Good times.  The primer was still wet, so Mom and Dad couldn't paint the kitchen.  Dad hung the towel bars in the bathroom (those will be handy when I move in two weeks from now).  Mom dismantled the annoying front structure on the house.  Here's some before and after photos.

So much less annoying, especially for upcoming moving day.  It will eventually just have one large support at the right side, but this will do for now.  The ramp will also be gone, but that will wait until all the large, heavy furniture is where it needs to be.

Mom also go the garage rearranged so there will be more room for my stuff.  That's where most of it will be since I'm moving in long before many of the rooms will be ready.  We quit a bit on the early side today as the primer still wasn't totally dry (darn, cold weather).  We were hoping to get the paint done this weekend so we could go straight to cabinets next, but I guess we'll be a little later than we hoped.  Oh, well.  It'll get done anyway.
