Most would say it is when you aren’t cook’in…..or better yet, you don’t even cook.  But not here at my house.   A kitchen used to be there, but now it is gone…no sink. no frig, no microwave, no cabinets, no faucet, no nothing.  I kind of like it….makes me long for the restaurants just down the street.

However, I really didn’t go this drastic just to eat out….(I think, not sure) But anyhow, we are redoing the kitchen…..and it will take about a month total. It’s been a long time com’in, and now it is actually happening.  I guess I’m here to say that it is fun……and the reason is……we don’t live there.  We IS  down the street in another home, WITH a kitchen.   That does take away the pain and agony of trying to figure out if the electricity and/or water are on, and most importantly, does the john flush and can I make a cup of coffee!  Those, my friends, are the major points of having a happy life…..toilet, toilet paper, coffee, cream/sugar, and the AM  Wall Street Journal.  There is no reason to continue further into the day if those aren’t around.

So rule #1….when doing extensive house renovation (and that includes anything that might disrupt the above….and include any dust), it is better to move away and let others take control of the mess.

The stuff is gone now, the dumpster was picked up….now the beam has been installed, and dry wall is being applied to ceilings as we speak.  There are can lights going in and more plug-ins than are in a usual two-story home. Hubby wants plenty of plug-ins.  (He loves to do the cooking since his retirement, therefore, it is only natural he design where he likes to cook)  (He really did do a good job, except for some hanging lights he picked out….those were BAD)

So entering into the third week….things are going fine….(I don’t want to know if they aren’t)  Kitty cat is happy in new digs…..and in our house, if the kitty is happy, everyone is happy.   More later.
