Cabinets at Cooper's...

On Monday Issac Wright brought out the alder cabinets he'd built for Diane Cooper and her kitchen. The room was a perfect blank slate before the install, as captured by my iphone pics, and the cherry stained alder brought even more warmth to the fir floors refinished by Andy Carr the week prior.

Part of the cabinet configuration that you don't often see was the "hoosier", which seems to be a baking station of sorts, with a lowered counter-top so that the user can really get on top of any kneading or rolling done on the hutch-like cabinet's counter-top. Mario and Son came to template the counter-top for granite today but things weren't perfect so they weren't able to get a good template and they'll have to come back again.

Tim got the footings for Rubino's addition poured this morning and even though there's rain in the forecast for tomorrow and Friday he plans to push the project along and get the foundation walls formed so they'll be ready to pour those by Tuesday of next week...God willing.
