Cabinets and sinks and ovens oh my!

Last week started off very well. Our custom cabinet maker Jesse Vest and sons from Pickwick delivered and installed our cabinets and counters Monday and Tuesday and they look great and are extremely well built. Jesse is a true master craftsman as we learned when we visited his shop last weekend. On Tuesday much of our equipment arrived from Chef's Supply and Design including the convection oven which will soon be producing Kelli's wonderous goodies. We placed it right up front on the counter so everyone can see (and smell!) what's baking. We also received most of our sinks and refrigeration.

Unfortunatley, the rest of the week did not go as well as planned. We had hoped to have the electrical, plumbing and tile complete by today - didn't happen :( Everyone is supposed to be here Monday morning though. So we shall see.

Besides that, the main projects remaining are to finish the restroom trim, install the picture hanging system, speakers and paint the floor.

I know that there are lots of folks anxious to have us open (thankfully!) but there are a lot of things beyond our control. We are working very hard doing as much as we can do ourselves every night and weekend with some help from friends as well. With any luck we will still open this month.
