C-Day. Morning came bright and warm. I was neither after spending the night in apprehension over the coming cabinets. Jovan and Sergio were right on time and started getting ready. DeeDee had to work (normally a day off) so I had to do this solo. The cabinets were set to arrive between 8:30 and 9:30 so we hunkered down in our trench and waited.
Not really. Actually, I had a conference call at 9:00 about a production in Texas at the end of the month. So naturally the truck pulls up right on time at 9:15. With multitasking skills honed by years of pretending to pay attention to people (and prodigious use of the 'mute' button), I oversaw the unloading of many, many crates, gave some orders, wrote some checks and still kept an ear open for what will happen in Austin.Lord, did we get some cabinets! The boxes filled the dining room and took over every unoccupied space available. It took the guys the whole day to get the upper cabinets up and set up the pantry. After nearly two months living out of one box of dishes, its shocking to think of what we're going to put in all of these. In fact, we are considering taking one down as it hangs over the sink area more than we might like. I'll talk to the team tomorrow to see what a headache that might be. However, like hard drive space, I'm hesitant to give up storage.
Outside of a couple concerns (and one apparently missing cabinet), everything went up nicely and I hope to report a happy finish to the cabinet chapter soon. Then, its on to counters.I notice that things seemed to get less messy and more expensive as we go, maybe that's because they figure its too late to turn back.
