A Different Kitchen

Dust!.........????????. Where does it come from?

14mm of precipitation has settled the airborne particles generated by the itinerant stone mason. No!. That's not right, itinerants are not named Damian. Besides he is wearing his firm's logo. Yes, we are renovating our kitchen once again. This time for real.

The faithful Kelvinator has taken up residence on the back deck underneath the bathroom window, and despite its' labouring has produced a son's delight - frozen coke. The carrots have also frozen along with the lettuce. Luckily it is early winter and a cold laundry keeps comestibles at edible levels sans refrigeration. Who would think a laundry could satisfy three foodies for such a saga.

Examining drawer hardware over coffee in January does not prepare you for six weeks living out of a laundry. Stress-free they promised - all you have to do is decide what finish to install - burnt orange (for a retro look) or ferric oxide ( for the new millenium). And of course make those periodic payments.

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to renovate.
