About Me

Trenton, Ohio, United States
I am a big kid in an older body. I refuse to grow "old", although some would say different. I drive too fast, laugh too loud, and annoy the hell out of my boss...hee hee. I love my job! Nontraditional female. I love tools, drove a truck, have a job planning/organizing maintenance of a bottle line for a "major brewer", don't wear makeup or dresses, but I am still a girl.

It looks like a real kitchen now!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!
This is my new kitchen. The cabinets came on my birthday. They are the most gorgeous things I have ever seen! The quality is unsurpassed. And the price is phenominal! Way, way cheaper than the big box stores. They are Amish built...High Point Cabinets in Apple Creek, Ohio. Stunning craftmanship. Dave is a master. And a real hoot to deal with. He cracks me up. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The two gentlemen that set the cabinets yesterday were a delight. We had a good time. They did this all in one very long day...about 12 hours almost on the nose. And they drove down from Apple Creek getting here at 7:20AM!!! It's a 4 hour drive!!! And they went home last nite too...I hope they got home ok.

I have to set the tile on the floor of the mudroom today. And I have a small list of last minute things I need to get to finish this remodel. Nothing huge...fireplace doors, new floor registers, a couple power strips....stuff like that. I am hoping the tile job does not turn into an all day affair. It shouldn't, but you never know. The floor is only 4' x 7'....once I get started it shouldn't take me any time at all to set 12x12 tiles in that little space. Then it is clean the new cabinets and reign myself in so I don't go stuffing the cabinets with all my stuff just yet. They are gonna make a huge mess setting the countertops and when that is done I can start the process of putting stuff away and moving it ten times before I am happy with the organization. But the best thing is I HAVE THE ROOM TO MOVE IT TEN TIMES.....hee hee. I don't have to put all my dishes in one ... yes ONE ... cabinet like my old kitchen....I am so happy!!!!

Well, gotta go get the day started.
