Kitchen progress




While we were out admiring pumpkins, Jerry kept busy. He took out everything but the kitchen sink, and then he took out the kitchen sink. We're using paper plates and plastic, and feeling as though we're totally destroying our carbon footprints as we do this. The nondisposables, mostly knives and pots and pans, Jerry washes in the bathroom sink, now tastefully decorated with a drainboard that slopes into the bathtub.
It works, at least for the time being.
Jerry says that when people say that "they don't make things like they used to" the only answer is "Thank God." Hiding under the kitchen walls and floors all these years were substrates made of what looks like cardboard. I don't know what was holding the kitchen together -- unless it was what J put in when we first moved here.

It strikes me that this is a real Green Bananas project. We have faith that my health is going to hold, not only for the next few weeks through the process, but for a long time after that.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the feeling of camping out. Remember Colonial House and Frontier House? I think they could get a good reality show out of Kitchen Remodeling House.
