Kitchen Remodeling Part 1

Pictures (top row: Mike; "Bubbles"; bottom row: before and after)


We needed to firm up the cabinets that would serve as the foundation for the 200 lb slab of Brazilian granite that we hoped to install in our kitchen. We spent the day Saturday attending to this endeavour. By "we", I mean Mike from M and L Home Services. I pretty much hung around and got in the way taking pictures, as well as asking questions like, "do you have names for all your tools?" (The level se llama "Bubbles"). According to Mike, I was actually of use to him. As he told his wife on his cell phone. "It's nice actually having someone around who will actually do stuff when I ask him to do it." Mike is a god... he is our handyman that attends to all the home repairs and upgrades that Lisa and I are clueless about. The best part is that he refrains from mocking us although we give him plenty of reasons to do this.

He did a miracle job securing the cabinets and creating a level plane that we hope will appease the granite guys when the come for measurements.
