It does not take too much imagination to figure out that this is the
kitchen. The space for the fridge is a bit snug, but we can still open
the doors. The right door is not able to open as much as the fridge allows. Even with
the limited opening you can still get to everything, the drawers pull out
fully, and can be removed to clean.

We unpacked a couple of the island cabinets and also ran the dishwasher without anything in it. It is exciting that we will have a dishwasher after many years without one. It was amazingly quiet. It is really only noticeable when it is draining water. We might have been over concerned about noise from the dishwasher, but quieter is better than louder. We have no complaints so far about the Bosch dishwasher. We do need to see how well it cleans dishes before jumping to conclusions.

The fireplace and bathroom tile is wrapping up in addition to the progress on the kitchen. We are happy with how the fireplace is taking shape. It is a bit sterile right now, but we are probably going to add a mantle that should make it feel a bit warmer.

All in all this is a rewarding week. We are now making progress on finish details that give us a sense of what the finished product is going to look like. Things are not perfect. However, they are coming together in a way that brings a smile to our faces.
