She picked some real good appliances. I told her that as much time as she spent in the kitchen I wanted her to get whatever she wanted that would help cut time and make her job easier. The range is a convection and has 4 burners with a warmer. The microwave is also convection and at 1.5 cuft, its almost twice as big as her older microwave. The Dishwasher is fairly quiet but extremely easy to operat, has a little more room and is better organized internally for better cleaning of dishes, etc.
We have already priced out the new counter tops. Our cabinet maker is located in Pall Mall, Tn and does a super job. He priced out our counters at $1140 installed, including putting in our new sink, which we will purchase at Lowes. We decided on going with laminate again cause the stone is just way too expensive for our taste. They make a laminate that has a granite look, in a variety of non-repeat patterns, that has a routed edge. It actually looks more like a granite counter top instead of the old laminate rounded over edge and flat ends. We also decided to go with a butcher block counter top for the center island. We can get it from Grizzely for about $250 which includes finishing and shipping. It will be 36" x 60" and comes ready to mount. I don't have to treat it with mineral oil until their original finish starts to wear off. They include the oil to be used and considering the top is shipped via 18 wheeler, the price is good. Randy, our cabinet guy says to have them ship it directly to his house and we can pick it up there. He lives right off the highway and it's easier access for the big trucks. Oh well, another HoneyDo that's done. Cathy's kinda excited to see it all come together and she has never had a kitchen that was set up the way she wanted it. We're getting there. All I can say is the " I ain't stupid ", I know that when Cathy's happy - I get great food.....
