Normandy Park Restoration

Kitchen is actually starting to look like a kitchen. Countertops are temporary.  Won't really know what kind I want until after I put the cabinet faces on and paint the ceiling beams.  I'm probably just going to go with the all-white cheap Ikea cabinet faces for now.  I think later I'll want to have custom faces made by Semihandmade, but just don't want to fuss with it for now. Had the code inspector come out today and my wiring passed, but the gas line I had a contractor do did not, so I've got them coming back out tomorrow to fix it. Unfortunately there were 2 issues.  When I unwrapped the dishwasher it had a big dent on the back.  When I also took the film off the sink, sure enough there was a ding front and center.  Got the sink off Amazon, so I already have the return setup there.  For the dishwasher it's AJ Madison, so we'll see how that goes.

Great dollar-ninja deal, found a Wolf gas cooktop.  Not fully connected yet, will be soon.

Time for a shower, won't be using the kitchen for a little while If you look closely you can see little sticks stuck to the kitchen floor.  These mark the level point for the base of the cabinets.  I've started the cabinet base framing, and directing the vents.  There's a pretty significant drop of 1/2" from the edge of the wall to the end of the islands, so I'll be doing a fair amount of work to get those level, but it shouldn't be too hard.
