Oh, and Xmas Present Update!

                        So it only took five weeks for my gifts to get to the Northeast and five weeks for my brother's gift to his son coming from Rhode Island to get to the same place.  They all converged on the same day, and it was like having a second Christmas!  This handmade sign now makes Dave an official brewer!
                                                                        

        Mom, wanted you to see Dave's progress since you haven't been over.  I still would have kept the original cabinets and had them redone, but his new cabinets are nice and clean!                 

                                                    

                                                                                 

    Recessed lighting, good touch! Wonder what the backsplash is going to be?
                                                                                      

Getting there!  Still has my mom's kitchen floor, though.
