I should probably have named this post differently as I suspect the real fun with boxes won't occur until the moving van arrives with our stuff. Anyway, we have continued on with our kitchen construction. After three weeks of waiting for parts to arrive that are still not in stock and can therefore not even be ordered, we decided to fabricate our own cover panels and move ahead. We needed to get this kitchen on the wall as the appliances were arriving at any minute. (They arrived Friday).
To complicate things, I have been nursing a useless right arm. My left arm has always been useless, so now I feel totally helpless. A trip into the doc and he diagnosed a repetitive strain injury from too much screwing. Not that kind!! Actually it might be from from chopping wood for the back yard fire-pit, or even from lifting too much. Don't know how I got it, but it really has me gibbled, so now I can only give instructions and hand tools to Andre, who must be loving his life right about now!!
Just kidding. He had been a very good sport and has basically installed this kitchen on his own with my coaching and has done a fantastic job. Those big boxes are not easy to hoist and fasten at the same time.
