The construction... I doubt it will ever end! In my last post I mentioned that my parents were heading out on a vacation to the East coast of our fair country, Newfoundland in fact. Therefore my brother and I would be on our own in terms of cooking; we knew it would be difficult since the kitchen would be in various states of repair but I'm not sure we knew how limited we would be. As of Monday the only appliance we had was the fridge. Seriously. Even the microwave and coffee pot were bundled and packed away somewhere. The biggest shocker was the complete absence of a sink. It had been ripped out and the water shut off but I had been under the impression that the contractors would have rigged up a replacement. Nope!
It's pretty neat to see the kitchen (and upstairs bathroom) being torn apart and put back together in stages like this. I think it will be even cooler for my parents, who left with one kitchen in place and will return to see a completely different one. Most of our stainless steel appliances have been delivered a few days ago and are sitting in the dining room. They are so gorgeous and I can't wait to use them.
Bottom line: Neil and I are learning to adjust. Washing any dishes we use in the bathroom sink, cooking chicken nuggets and fingers on the BBQ. Over the past few days we have started to use paper towels and takeout. Awesome.
