Colors and Commutes

A week of decision making has resulted in the selection of the cabinet color, flooring for most of the house, and wall colors for most of the house.  Meanwhile the plasterers have nearly finished the entire house!  Picture of that to come.

One hour into my morning commute and the scene looks remarkably similar to the beginning of it.  I stopped at the house at 5:45 to shut off the heat for the plasterers.  Tried to leave and couldn't make it up the hill.  Got 3/4 of the way on my 4th attempt, but by then I had packed all the wet snow into a greasy sheet of slush-ice, so all future attempts were worse.  Finally called Amy (who had a 2 hour delay!).  She had to come and push my up the hill with her car - bumper to bumper.  Nothing makes you feel manlier than sitting in a Pontiac Vibe being pushed up your street by your wife in her Ford Freestyle.  Anyways, got on the road by 6:45 and took an additional 2 hours from there.   Fun.

The building where our cabinets are being made.

This is all of our kitchen cabinets.  The stack on the left is all of the drawers!

Some of the cabinet doors.  The gridded ones in the back are going to be glass doors.

And we finally got the color right!  It's the darker blue on the top half of the door Amy's holding.

The last sate of my de-Manuary-ification.  I felt a little ridiculous dealing with the plasterers looking like this....
