Wednesday

So my buddy Dan let me barrow his truck and I cleared all the debris out of the apartment. I took apart the kitchen sink and cabinet and it all went in the trash. It is starting to look like a home now with out all the debris in it. It only took me about 1.5 hours to get all the debris out and to the transfer station which happened to be 2 miles down the street. I dumped 1250 lbs at a cost of $95. I then took the truck to the Home Depot again and picked up new lights for the kitchen and living room a new shop vac and allot of painting supplies. Katie and I are going to paint most of the place this weekend if all goes well. I got back to the apartment around noon and spent three hours sanding the plaster we did this weekend and the strips in the ceiling and wall. I also had to plaster the whole back splash behind the sink. The guys who did the previous work plastered over a piece of wood with nothing for it to adhere to and it was falling off and cracking. I put up some diamond lath and plastered the whole thing. I also had to some large hole patches to fix the crappy job the guys did with the sheet rock before me. It looks like they just punched a hole in the wall twice the size of the plug box and so I had to fill that. I then put a second coat of plaster on the ceiling and wall to cover the demo spots. It is looking really good and blending well. I then took off the kitchen light and patched the holes it made because we are using a smaller light. I then took a few moments to mount the base cabinet under the electrical box and found out that the floor is not very level where I want to put my 30 in base cabinet. It is going to take some work to get it to sit correctly. By this time it was around 1930 and I had enough and went home. Pictures to follow when I get home.

Here is a picture of two of the base cabinets set in their place. Gonna mount them Friday
