Hi Sherry,
Congratulations on getting all the work started! It won't be long now. As a guy who prides himself in his culinary skills, I can tell you first hand what a thrill it's going to be when you cook your first meal in that brand new kitchen with all the new appliances. I had a similar experience to your's many years ago, and ,for me, getting into my new kitchen was a fantastic experience.
BTW, I have an idea. I can glue my dentures in and rent a saxophone and sit in with you and Djim at the celebration party.
Although, in my current state, I may also have to rent a respirator!
Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished work,
Fred
