Welcome Back Old Friend!

[Gerry and I were on an Alaskan cruise last month and so I'll be catching up on the Kitchen Remodel while waiting for Gerry to finish up the cruise photos.]

FINALLY!  The end must truly be in sight because the refrigerator - the appliance that has been residing in our foyer for the past three months - was returned to its rightful place in the kitchen.  That alone caused mere excitement but the realization that we could once again have ICED tea (because the ice maker is usable again) elicited actual jubilation!  Gerry immediately searched through boxes in the piano room to locate the ice tea maker and put it to good use.











Wasn't an easy feat - it's a really large refrigerator and took both Todd and Hymie (with my excellent oversight and supervision) to carefully move it
from the piano room...
















through the dining room and its newly refinished hardwood floors...






















into the kitchen for water and electrical hook-up.






Once that was done, the other smaller appliances came back to the kitchen (after floor refinishing) - the wine fridge and ice maker.



Then it was time to bring it in - the entire reason for this remodel - the dishwasher.  THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE DISHWASHER!!!!














For those of you playing along at home, you may now check off "Appliance Installation" as everyone is (and nearly functional - the beverage bar and island appliances are installed but do not yet have power).
