Some changes to the kitchen . . .

Ah yes . . . some changes to the kitchen have been made - without burning down the house (not that it matters, it's already burned twice..)! The dishwasher was installed courtesy of Jim, and I managed to do a little plumbing under the sink for the first time with a torch (and a cookie sheet).

The laminate was also a first, with help and direction from Dad Donnelly; including learning how to successfully operate a table-saw. Having to waste brand-new laminate boards because of lousy cuts is a real incentive to learn to do it right. We think the job came out o.k. :)
