Weekend Wows

Walt Kowalski had a personal day he needed to use. He strung it together with a couple of vacation days to make an extra L-O-N-G weekend. Together we get so much accomplished. Along with lots of small things, we got lots of big things done, too.

One of the important things we did this weekend was to cut the kitchen sink into the new countertop.
When we remodeled the kitchen at the Cat Ranch, cutting the sink in was one of the most stressful events for both of us. Measure, measure, measure, measure, look, look, look, deep breath, cut. 

This was the third kitchen for me, fourth for Walt Kowalski. We learn more with every improvement. The cabinets, countertop, and floor all turned out so nice.  We like it.
 
 

I have to install finishing pieces for each side of the cabinets by the windows. The knobs turned out well, too.

Then there was the bathroom. The vanity was missing a drawer.  A replacement drawer cost as much as a new vanity.  *sigh* A new vanity in the same size as the old vanity cost as much as a new vanity, new sink bowl, and new faucet.

The new vanity is a little smaller than the old vanity.  You can see the new hand towel bar.  I got that installed on the first try. As for the bath towel holder on the other wall, well that took me two tries.  I put the brackets on backwards on the first try. {insert eye roll}

 

We still have a few things to finish up, but we're very close .
