okay, just so you know, i love you.

i am so very sore today.  my body is achey all over, particularly on my hands/wrists.  all that hard work and labor!  i feel so excited to have done that work!  yay for me!  and have i mentioned how much i love my kitchen?

i REALLY need to shave right now.  my beard is allllll kinds of crazy.  i need to trim my nails too. yeah, i've kinda let myself go the past few days/weeks :]  

last two things:

-i dropped my ENG 570 class 'cos i was reading 2 books a week JUST for that class.  which doesn't bother me, and i liked the professor, but when combined with the classes i actually NEED in order to graduate, it was just too much.

-i bought a new tv.  (don't judge me!) and now i get all kinds of television channels!  i just used to get around 23 channels, now i get something like 100!  and am paying no more for the cable bill!  and, now i'll be able to see the characters on my wii!  (i originally had a 19" tv, now i have a 32" tv LOL.  i feel so gluttonous!)

okay.  later folks.

progress.

well, it turns out the wall behind the sink WASN'T fucked up after all.  it was in fact, the counters that were already there.  while this doesn't surprise me that much, it is a little shocking, 'cos it's amazing just how inept the people were!  

by the by, when we were taking the countertops out, they literally CRUMBLED!  i gave it a few smacks with the mallet, and it just disappeared. 

the faucet and the sink have been the biggest issue.  #1) was with the faucet.  since it's a european faucet, none of the little fasteners fit.  anyhow, that got fixed after 4 different runs to home depot and ace hardware.  #2) was the sink.  the only issue was the hole for the faucet.  you use this really wacky metal tool that you spin around with a wrench.  it uses pressure and torque and all that physics stuff to eventually punch a hole in it.  it took SO much work to do it!  

the counters took a while to cut, but they went fairly smoothly.  and everything is looking so nice!  we only have to do a little fiddling with the drain pipes and with the hot water knob under the sink.  

i'm excited for it to be done, i'll take pictures, obviously :)
