LOL @ strat!

I don't claim to have any responsibility in the installation phase, just the design phase. Its really, really nice to know a guy who's a finish carpenter. He had all those cabinets up in about 6 hours, and made the countertops yesterday. He totally rocks!

Skully, the kitchen is no nice, I wouldn't want to mess it up by actually cooking in it. :)

I know how you feel. I got a serious kitchen upgrade last spring. It's just such a joy to use!

You're pretty quick, Tilt! :)

I kinda liked the Old Kitchen... but I have no sense of design; I'm partially colorblind, and I'm a guy...

It doesn't matter, Tilt. The old kitchen didn't have a coffe maker either. :)

Seriously, the old cabinets were as dark as night, and fell apart as they came off the wall. I'm suprised the held anything in them.

Tilt, I agree with you the old kithcen looked ok. I mean it isn't like your living in that room. You cook in it and go into another room to eat. Plus all the money you spent could have gone to new gear ;)

Dunkin' Doughnuts for the crew; good thinking Smiley! A happy crew does a better job. I'm surprised they left!

Looks like your old kitchen had the same cabinets we had. We re-did the kitchen a couple years ago. What a difference. Although we have a coffee maker, my in-laws who did the installation don't drink coffee!

Nice job!

I fed them well. Doughtnuts bagels, cereal, juice, pizza for dinner, free beer, and sandwiches made-to-order for lunch. They didn't have too many complaints. :)

Ewker, I spent enough $$ last year on gear, I decided I better start spending money elsewhere. :)

Yeah, I probably would've blown that cash on some Guy Stuff. Like new shocks and bigger tires for the Exploder, <G>

(not to self: check to see if kitchen cabinets are about to fall off the wall...)

Our makeover is coming up; new windows and siding. Also taking out an old picture window and putting in French doors (oops, I mean Freedom Doors!) Then I have to build a deck off of that which will seriously cut into my backpacking season.

I don't know why, but the skill that men posess that turns everything into something sexual absolutely amazes me. Must be a gift from God. :)

I'm just getting back into sewing and into quilting for the first time. A demanding 8 month old doesn't leave me much time though. The quilt looks great!
