The Kitchen Part 6

We bought the house & signed the papers in March of 2002.  This is April 2011 and a typical Texas summer is upon us.
AND I FINALLY HAVE FREAKIN' CEILING FAN!!!!!!!

It still needs to be stained but Shawn put it well when he said, "I'm glad you caved on the trim."  Yes, the price was frightening at $16 per stick but it looks very nice and all we had to do was endure three hours (the job took 20 minuets) with Shawn's old buddy Richard--he has an air nail gun; Shawn does not.  He surprised me with a life size can of Duff to add to my Simpson's collection.  Awwww. 

After Shawn finished the grout on the island on Saturday, he left his buckets & tools in the sink overnight.  I blamed him for the haze on my brand new week-old shiny sink.  He swore up & down he didn't do it & that grout wouldn't do that.  I scrubbed with stainless steel polish for a half hour and still nothing.  We've lived here for 9 years with a cruddy ceramic sink.  Before that, we lived in a crappy rent house for three years that also had a crappy ceramic sink. 

This is the first nice sink I've had since living with my parents.  I treasure it!  I am disappointed.  Whether who's fault it was I suppose does not matter in the long run.  It's only things.  Things decompose and rot.  They mean nothing.

Still, I had a shiny sink for a whole week. 

Still sucks too.
