Teamwork?

This post must begin with an apology.  We've clearly had a security breach.  I guess I got sloppy with passwords, or perhaps left a terminal logged in when I shouldn't have.  Regardless, I'm sure you noticed, but there was a rogue blogger that infiltrated and took over control of my precious blog.  Rest assured, it won't happen again.

...ok, it probably will, but let's move on.

We entered the day with renewed vigor.  What's been a rough week is now behind us.  Time to bask in the glory of Ikea craftsmanship!  Seriously, though, this Ikea kitchen has proved far less frustrating than previously imagined.  This is, of course, quite the pleasant surprise.

Boss lady (hi Wife) was assigned inside (with A/C, natch!) tasks whilst your humble blogger was relegated to outdoor duty.  At this point, I'll let you, dear reader, guess what work we have pictures to document.  Think there are many pictures of the extremely crucial work that was done outside, burning piles, mowing, edging, general sweating?  Methinks not many.  What about the diligent replacement of receptacles inside?  Is there any photo-documentation of the nearly whole-house electrical replacement that was (almost) completed (there are TWO left, I mean, come on, that counts as done)?  Nope.  Unfortunately for you the viewer there's no picture of the massive fireball that was created as a receptacle was removed from service without switching off the breaker (I'm fine, Ma!).  Oops.

Here's the one lonely picture of Randall's work.

Figure 1.  Neatly trimmed

P.S. NOTE: For the right buyer, that man-helper can be included in the purchase price.  P.P.S NOTE: Toilet paper not included

But, recognizing that more people care about the kitchen, because it is much neater, because it's new, and because the boss (Hi Wife) made a lot of good, quality work, it's now time to display pictures of the newly domesticated Swedish cabinets!

Well, not quite, first the text-based description of her hard work must be employed to adequately paint the scene.  My language arts teacher, Mrs. Wiley, from 6th grade called this: "Writing".  Since we (ok, the boss (Hi Wife)) has put together our final punch list of items to get done, she's been cherry picking all of the things that are done in the air conditioning or involve going to the store.  Holding true to that, she worked hard texting a friend of hers who must've been busy building excellent credit history through Lululemon.  In between texts, she installed a number of shelves, doors, drawers and other kitchen cabinet related finishes.

Figure 2.  Yeah, it's kinda blurry, are those doors?

Figure 3.  Yup, closer inspection confirms:  DOORS!

Figure 4.  I'm told that the brown (I'm not writing Rockhammer) lowers are intentionally brown (and not white, er, Adel? to match the uppers, but whatever).

Figure 5.  There will be more doors here to match the other doors, fancy-like

Who wants to guess what's on the agenda for tomorrow?
