The ovens are ready for the turkey!

Well after lots of measuring, trips to the cabinet shop, help from Chris and Bode, Ken has the new microwave in! So far so good, I guess I should read the directions but I did heat some water for tea this morning and it worked fantastic! Seems very user friendly.And with Thanksgiving 1 day away I'm happy to say that all this with many adjustments, sawing and clamping, making the bottom drawer smaller and the top a bit narrower, we have OVENS installed!
YEA! I came home from work last night to find them in their place. The electricians had shown up in the afternoon and done their part to run a new line so we'd have plenty of power for both ovens. I whipped out some instant slice and bake cookies to try it out to see what it would do and all seemed well! Course that was only in the bottom oven. So I guess we'll be breaking them in with thanksgiving dinner around the corner! It's a great update to our kitchen and being one who does like to cook I think they'll see plenty of action!

New Ovens

Well our house is at the age where things are needing to be replaced. I guess after 15 years our appliances really didn't owe us anything else. So new ovens have been purchased and now await the installation! Chris and Bode came this week to help get the microwave up into position. Ken had done some tear out on the cabinets so they were ready. Bode was right there to help!

Out comes the old oven, we won't miss that timer going off on it's own at all! Or the light starting to blink off and on all on it's own!
Little guy in training!!!

Bode helping with the clean up! All little boys love my built in vacuum, you can make it just their size! Vacuum away Bode!

Well the cabinet man has his work cut out for him yet. He's got everything out, back to the cabinet shop to make different trim pieces. Saw dust everywhere from cutting out cabinet parts ( I was the dust collector with the vacuum hose!) The electrician has come and decided we need new wires run since we've gone from a single oven to the double oven.... the thanksgiving turkey is unthawing in the refrigerator.... we have 3 days to go....I'll keep you posted and show you the finished project soon...I hope!

Spring

Well a favorite time of year is here ( I have several) It's always triggered by our apricot tree blooming. Looks to be a good year for apricots! Last year we shared with many and the apricot butter in the freezer is gone.
The bees were just humming today when you stood under the tree. It's so pretty and by next week the ground will look all white like snow under the tree as the blossoms drop and the leaves come out and hopefully lots of apricots too!
