New kitchen and summer work

We finally solved the problem of kitchen cabinets and put together cabinets from IKEA and put them in as a peninsula instead of trying to find cabinets that would fit under our windows that were installed to low for standard cabinets. I think they look really good too.



This is the sink cabinet and the only hanging cabinet at this time. How do you like my black sink?
















The cabinet on the left is actually 2 cabinets back to back. The one you see here faces the kitchen table and has the drawers needed for silverware.

The stove will go in the left corner and stacking washer and dryer will go in the right corner by the sink.







I love the red color and the black and while vinyl flooring. Don't have any chairs yet for my antique table.














Here's the other side of the peninsula. This cabinet will hold my pots and pans and will face the stove.












It only took my brother, Richard and I a month to put this all together. There's still some fine finishing work to be done later but the big stuff is done and it's ready for appliances.

After finishing this Richard and I headed to Kanab, UT to work another summer at the Parry Lodge. This summer we'll be managing the kitchen for dinners 3 nights a week. We just finished our first week and it went pretty well. Richard is working the kitchen side and I'm working the dining room side. It's nice to just be working 3 nights a week. This first week everyone at work and the campground has been coming down with either a virus or allergy reaction we think to wind and rain. Most everyone is getting better except me. My nose is still running and I've got a terrible cough. Hopefully I'll be better by the time we go to work this week cause I worked last week trying not to cough when taking orders. I'm getting worn out from all the coughing day and night and not getting much sleep.
