Back to the Grind...

Last day of "freedom"...hee hee. Man, I do NOT want to go to work tomorrow. So much to do both there and here and not enough time for both. But I gotta earn to spend..so...

I got the flooring ordered yesterday, kitchen sink bought, sink flanges to match the color ordered, good dishes removed, the jelly cupboard they are in moved and the dishes put back, stereo in familyroom packed up and stored, and some cleaning done. Good day.

The kitchen sink I bought is a Pegasus brand, "Espresso" color (dark brown), and is a granite composite. I hadn't seen these before. I walked into Home Depot to look at sinks again and something made me turn around to the other side of the isle....BAM....there it was...the kitchen sink of my dreams!!! I held the countertop sample I have picked out against it and nearly lost my balance...it is ssooooooooooo pretty...and the display is mounted in maple just like my cabinets will be...so the whole picture was there. Very cool. And Julie (HD kitchen designer I have been talking to) said they are just about indestructible...don't scratch and everyone that has one is raving about them. Works for me!

Now I am in search of the perfect kitchen faucet. I think I have found it, but it is brand new and won't be for sale until October. Will have to tell Julie so she can order it for me. I really like the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish that is out now. And with the warm maple wood, the dark sink, the brown toned granite-like patterned lamitnate countertops, and the dark wood floor...that is just the ticket. The faucet is a Moen: Camerist line...single handle, pull out (sprayer on the end of the faucet arm)....modern with a touch of old world...but not the tuscany type like is everywhere now. I am not sure I like the price, but this is what I could find. The dark bronze is not cheap. I have gone thru 3 "cheap" faucets in this kitchen already and don't want another cheap one.

I need to get out in the garage today. But I think I will take the truck to get an oil change first. The oil change light came on yesterday on my way home from Home Depot. So it is time. Sears is open today. I have never gone to Sears, but they are open today and so that is where I am going. I should have gone to the dealership yesterday, but didn't think about it till it was too late. Oh well.

Onward and Upward.....
