...right now we are in the midst of a hurricane...not really as they have downgraded it to a tropical storm now...but when it first started here it was still a category one hurricane...
...and we are still without power...the power went off yesterday around 5:00 pm...so I'm posting this with a hotspot on my phone and battery backup on the laptop...
...we got out the camp stove to make dinner last night...and I'm making coffee right now...
...while that was brewing...I stepped off the back porch to check the rain gauge...because it looked empty...and it looked empty because it was completely full...not sure how much rain we got overnight...but at least 5 inches...haha...
...a few candlelit scenes from last night...
...supper on the campstove...
...tomato soup and grilled cheese sammies...
...I always put Ritz crackers in my soup (like Daddy did)...but the Man always puts Saltines in his...which do you prefer?...
...so obviously no renovation work happened yesterday...
...but earlier in the week...we set up our cutting station out in the yard...
...while it was still steamy and hot outside...
...we cut the molding for the other side of the kitchen...
...using our little angle finder thing-y...
...to help us figure the angle of that little corner (spice) cupboard...
...we set the molding on top of the cabinets but we've not attached it yet...we're going to finish the sink side first before we empty those cupboards...
...and we installed a new streamlined light over the sink...
...and a much larger matching one for the center of the room...it is dimmable and has a remote...which we'll probably never use...but the Man is installing a piece that will connect it to the wifi...
...using our nifty laser leveler...
...to get it perfectly square...
...and the Man screws the mounting frame in place...the light fixture just sort of slides onto those rails...
...both new lights...
Ritz crackers, definitely!!! Your cabinets are gonna look great! And I love the "skylight" effect of the new light.
