filling in the gaps

This was a really great weekend. We spent too much time (unsuccessfully) working on truck repairs, but we still made progress on the kitchen and conquered our laundry pile. And fixed a door handle so we can use our front door again. Look at us go!

But while clean clothes are exciting, I think kitchen progress is probably even more exciting (we live a wild and crazy life).

Our first project was to install the back of our new cabinet. We had planned to add another piece of plywood on top, along with the granite countertop, but it was just too cold outside on Sunday to cut everything.

I think Nick has done a pretty stellar job on this cabinet, so I casually suggested ripping out all our lower cabinets so he could build new ones. He wasn't interested. Weird.

Our next project? Backsplash!!

We installed the rest of the cement board and then started filling in the gap with slate.

  Man, it's really fun to see this kind of progress! We still have the tricky part left to tackle (all the pieces that need to be cut), but in keeping with our mantra...progress is beautiful.

And of course, all of our work was completed under the watchful eye of our quality control team.

How was your weekend? Productive? Relaxing? Hopefully awesome, no matter what you had on the schedule!
