Monday....Take 3 or 4, I'm no longer sure

Hey Peeps, 

I'm not sure if it's week 3 or 4 but here we go again!

Hubster's brother JimBob has been in town this weekend for some fireworks training.  He likes to blow sh#$ up.  😁   Then again, don't we all have a little pyromania inside us?!

Let's jump back to dinner on Sunday evening.  We dined al fresco this evening.

I grabbed some pulled chicken I had stashed in the freezer and we had pulled chicken sandwiches with pepper jack cheese.  Those were served on garlic bread from the toaster oven.    A divine can of Bush's baked beans and a box of Suddenly Salad pasta.   Don't you wish we'd have you over during a kitchen renovation??  haha

Here's a close-up of the sandwich, it actually was pretty tasty. 

After we finished eating Hubster was being all sassy with me and I told him to hush it or see if I'd make him another delicious box dinner again.     We all got a good chuckle from that one. 

So bright and early this morning, the contractor and the painters showed up.  We chatted about the week for a bit (it's gonna be busy) then he suggested we shut off our air conditioners because things were gonna be stinky today.  And stinky it was!!!   They primed the cabinets today and normally I love me the smell of fresh paint but this is oil-based and my head is still a thumping.  

Then the painters finished and I thought we had the rest of the day to air the place out and relax but oh, no, no.   Cesar the cabinet guy was back with some work to get wrapped up before the painters come stink up the house again tomorrow.    

Let's take a look, shall we?

Cabinets are primed and the new "faux" cabinet has been installed to cover that awkward corner.

Trim work had been mostly completed as well.

The cofee bar area is primed and ready.

Reggie's feeding station has been modified.  There was a bit of confusion over this cabinet.  Cesar thought we wanted a place for a small dog bed but we really only needed a spot for Reggie's food bowls.  The problem is solved and he is making another drawer for this cabinet. 

The ginormous opening for Hubsters new refrigerator freezer. 

The stove area is primed.  We have to chat in the morning with the contractor because I had asked for the trim to be left to stain on the hood vent.  We'll see what happens.

All the cabinet doors and drawers lined up for painting.

I still love the hood vent, even if it ends up being painted all over.

Most of the island is primed and ready.  Rumor has it that the sink will be installed this week!!

And finally, Cesar brought the cabinet for the wine room/dry bar area today.  

They'll need to prime that one tomorrow. 

I may or may not know anything about this addition to the hole where the wine refrigerator is going.

And yes, I'm having them seal this up in the wall!   

Now, let's eat dinner because we're starving. We dined al fresco once again because not only is the house stinky from the paint, it's a touch warm since the air had been off all day. 

We had some Barramundi from Costco.  Cooked up in the electric skillet right on the back porch peeps.  

There was also a Farmers Fridge Meditteranean salad to go along with the fish.  And possibly a glass or two of Chardonnay for moi!

There you have it, Monday at a glance.  

Hop over to the Barefoot Gardner page of this here blog and see what's blooming in the garden!

Peace, Love & Paint Fumes
