Important Policy Decision Tabled

The Supreme Council of Kitchenistan has been grappling with a number of important policy decisions of late. With the Minister of Construction nearly finished with most of the significant work progress efforts, the council is fighting over usage of the new infrastructure...

...namely a table and art...

...we are nowhere near any kind of art discussion...

But we have been talking a lot about tables. We've talked to Jeremy about making one. We've talked to my good friend Zev about constructing something. And we have found some things we have liked elsewhere.

It is actually not an easy space to fill. Wood tops will be difficult due to the spectacular nature of the wood coloration and grain in the floor and cabinets---tough not to compete with that stuff. And of course, we are poor having dumped all of our cash into the everything you've already seen on the blog...

So, for now, we have brought Jo-Elle's old dining room table into the space to see how glass works for us and to get a better sense of the dimensions we would like in the space. The greenest thing would be to re-use what we have, but frankly the lines don't work and the green color is all wrong...

But in the short-term it will be nice for the barbecue we will hold next weekend as an impromptu celebration of the project's completion.

Is it done? Well, not entirely, but I expect Jeremy to finish out everything on his punch list, Jose the electrician to fix the issues that have popped up (like the moon light not lighting in this photo), and the plumber to finish all of his work (anchor the dishwasher, fix some supply lines, put the showers back into place, etc.). And, that about wraps it up. There are some things outside the original scope that Jeremy will be working on after this point (the rain barrel, an additional chunk of seating to name a pair), but we've just about come to a conclusion on the grand renaissance of Kitchenistan. What a rebirth...

So, if you are reading this, feel free to pop over Saturday (I will be sending out emails) to see a true Kitchenistani traditional celebration. Not to be missed...
