Electrocution and other minor mishaps..

I've talked about this before, but it bears repeating. Make sure the power is OFF before putting up light fixtures. We were hanging the dining room light and everything seemed to be going fine. I was putting a light bulb in the fixture and Michael was going to flip the switch on to make sure it worked. Problem was, he didn't need to flip the switch. The light came on as soon as I screwed it in. Which means people!!! We were touching hot wires at some point in the installation. Yikes. My kids would be orphans!

Monday I decided to get rid of the last of the slate tile in the dining room. I was using a crowbar and hammer and things were going well. I picked up a TOO big pile of the tile and one sharp piece slipped and hit me on the top of the foot... on the vein. Ouch and blood!!

Last night we finished putting up the cabinets in the kitchen. Here's a sneak peak at the progress.. not the best quality but had to use my cell phone.

 Now we need to get the countertops installed, backsplash up and the cabinet pulls. New Fridge, dishwasher and microwave will complete it! I'm so excited to have a kitchen sink. I hope it's soon.
