kitchen progress

Monday morning all of our Ikea cabinets were delivered....yay! We ordered our Ikea cabinets over the phone/e-mail and paid to have them shipped to our house (compared to going into the store, finding the items, checking out and loading them into our car.) Best decision ever. There were not glitches (that we know of yet) and the service from Ikea was absolutely amazing. The only issue we had was with the delivery company that Ikea uses to deliver their orders. It wasn't a great experience, but in the end we have our cabinets.

What's next? We debated hiring a company to come and build & install all the cabinetry. We found that the standard rate for building & installing Ikea cabinetry was $100.00 per cabinet. The approximate cost for us was going to be approximately $2,000.00

This is where Aubrey and I had different views on the kitchen renovation. I wanted to hire someone to come in and do all the work - build the Ikea cabinets and installation. Aubrey on the other hand saw this as a cost saving area - if he built the cabinets himself and hired someone just to do to install, we'd save a significant amount of money. When you cut down on the time a trade has to spend on a project, you end up saving money. In the end, Aubrey won on that decision. He's building them tonight --- I give him an A+ for effort on this one. So far so good and we're on schedule!

Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!

Right now it appears like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform
available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your website. It appears as though some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen before.
Thank you

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
site could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Superb blog!
