Not that there hasn't been interesting stuff going on. We moved in after tearing out the old kitchen counter tops which took the sink and cook tops with it but before installing the new counter tops. The inspector lady from the city said this would not be a problem, Just email her a photo when complete. So Wednesday Jackie's sister Janet and our brother-in-law Rick came over to help with the project.
Janet is the oldest female child in a family that has 9 other brothers and sisters and is used to getting her way, so when she insisted on climbing into the cabinets to work the special clamps that make the main joint look great we didn't argue. In fact this gave Jackie a chance to duplicate something she had seen on TV, thinking the worst that could happen would be that she would have two sisters named Janet.
Janet was able to climb in through the top but gave little thought as to her escape route. We put the two large sections on and Janet worked the clamps expertly. Thoughtfully we provided Janet with a towel to keep any dripping glue out of her eyes but it seems that she missed a spot or two and couldn't move afterward, making it even more difficult to get out from under. I was out chiseling old glue off the underside of the sink and did not see this happen so I do not accept any responsibility in the matter.
As you can see, the counter tops turned out great. We still need to build some cabinet doors and paint and we are leaving a slot below the cook top so Janet can get something to eat or drink from time to time. We have always thought it was great to have family so close.
