Dishwasher Panel

We finally got our dishwasher panel on last night. It was kind of a pain. Mostly because the template they supplied was incorrect and off about 11/16". That seems like a small amount, but it caused a lot of delay and frustration. But, we got it adjusted and remounted and thankfully, it all worked out in the end.

We also got our hardware installed on the island cabinets a few days ago, which means I can finally start moving our stuff back in. Hooray! Today marks the 8 week mark since we ripped out the old kitchen. 2 months without a kitchen! Whoa. It actually went pretty fast and wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I think mostly for two reasons: 1) We had a kinda-sorta kitchen in the basement.
Yes, this fancy setup:

And 2) It has been amazing to see the kitchen that I've had in my mind for months, become a reality. It definitely has been stressful at times (I've mentioned a few of the reasons why in my last post), but for the most part I've been fascinated by the process.

Right now we are in the process of tweaking our back wall arrangement a bit. I've been mulling over a new option for a couple of days and I'm currently still in negotiations with Luke. :) I'll keep you posted on what we decide to do...
