Cabinets are in

Our cabinets were installed yesterday. They look nice. No exciting details about them. The people will be out today to measure for the countertops, but they probably won't be in until next week or possibly at the beginning of next year. The sheetrockers were out today to repair JJ's escape hatch. We made sure that all kitties were inside last night and that all the doors to the new house were closed. They had actually already put up the new sheetrock before I left for work this morning. Good job!

The electric company is supposed to be out today or sometime this week to install a new meter. We will have two meters for a time. This was necessary to keep power to the old house while having underground power to the new house. As soon as we have moved to the new house I think we are going to convert the old house power to the new meter. I don't really care about that though.

All of the lights are supposed to be delivered this week since they are going to be installed this weekend. So, by the weekend we should have lights and heat in the new house. There goes my excuse for getting home early - now I will be able to see the progress no matter what time it is.

Oh we (mostly Rich and Bob, but I think that Rich must be feeling Christmasy because I got the final say so, which NEVER happens voluntarily) also came up with a plan for the steps that lead up to the house. I think it's going to be pretty cool, and I may just keep that a secret until the end.

Here are the latest pics, including one of JJ. (I did take him to the vet yesterday and he was perfectly healthy other than being skinny)
