the way things REALLY are....

 Here it is, the newly started kitchen cabinet project.  It always seems like such fun, then:

The counter, oh well...it's how it looks right now...those cabinet doors are all coming off...hardware will come off, they'll be wiped down, painted on the back, then the front.  The hinges will come off, and be soaked and scrubbed, then dried and spray painted.  There is new hardware already purchased, so cheaply from Amazon, the same stuff that's on my coffee table.  So it's a minimal cost project, but oh the work!

Paul has the day off, and is so nicely and kindly digging into this with me.  He took the drawer hardware off, and sanded the fronts of the drawers, so Camille could prime them.  They had those upside down half cup things on them, all the rage like ten years ago.  

Most of those doors are off now, stacked up and waiting for me to get up and get moving again.  My hands cramp up from painting, and my feet were hurting.  

This is my view from my chair...all the stuff from the tables is out there, and all those drawers all primed and ready for paint.  

This fine morning, I did go to the pool.  It was ten degrees F, which is -12.2 c.  It had snowed in the night, and the roads were slippery!  I am glad I went, but I do not like to drive in it.

It's snowing out like crazy, and the temps will be dropping much lower overnight.  It's a good day to stay home and do a project..you all have a good day, and I'll check in later with tons of progress!  Well, I hope anyway!
