The construction is going along swimmingly. Every night we come home and put together a couple more cabinets. In fact, we're down to one last cabinet to build. The goal is to make sure we have all our parts accounted for by Sunday, since we're returning to IKEA to swap bad pieces, get missing parts, and return the stuff we didn't need. Cool thing we learned while doing this is that you can share parts among cabinets, so we ended up with stuff to return after all. In the meantime, giving some thought to what we would do with our old cabinets, we put them up on Craigslist. Oh my goodness! I had no idea our local Craigslist was such a powerful thing. Within 10 minutes of posting the cabinets must go for free (and mind you they're old and grubby), we had no less than 4 requests. That has since grown to about 30 responses. People are desperate for these cabinets. Of course, not all of them are available yet, since they're still attached to the wall and holding our plates and food. As far as our attitude toward each other, we're in good shape...though walking around the house is troublesome. Of course when we start tearing about the kitchen in earnest we may come to blows, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Just kidding honey! Labels: craigslist, ikea, kitchen
