week 45?! whatever!

I know I promised to keep the blog up to date no matter what - but boy! - it got REALLY ugly!! If we thought it was bad in the fall, we had no idea how much worse dealing with Albrecht & Son would get. It has been extremely frustrating and depressing that thoughts of abandoning the project was brought up several times in the past months. (Of course, "litigation" was mentioned as well.) I did continue to take pictures but talking about the remodel has been a sore subject to say the least. Why are we starting again? 2 reasons: 1) we have made great progress in the last week that we're getting excited about the house again, and 2) Max's friend, Bob, told us to update the blog. Someone reads this? Ok then, let's blog...! Here are some pictures to see the transformation of the kitchen.
Opening the cabinet boxes was a bit scary because our window of opportunity to send damaged cabs back was closed. We just crossed our fingers and appreciated the touch-up kit included!
The cabs are full overlay, slab (flat) cherry wood w/ a cabernet stain...
Fun, huh, to see the transformation in successive pics like this...
The floors are 6" wide Santos Mahogany planks...
It's looking like a loft, isn't it?
