Kitchen Update

This was the kitchen a few days agoKevin and I removed all the old upper cabinets Friday and Armin (Alec's best friend and our surrogate son) arrived just in time to help Kevin install the tracks the new cupboards hang on.  Thank goodness he came or we wouldn't have made nearly as much progress.  Thanks Armin! The installation instructions say to remove the entire kitchen then install the uppers but this seems to have worked well. 
This is what the kitchen looked like about 9 this morning.  I moved the location of everything in an effort to cut down on the congestion we have at the morning hour rush and meal times.  So my kids make note of the new location of the contents or you will never find anything when you next come home.  
And this is about half an hour later.  We actually really like the cupboards bare.  I am not sure we will install knobs. The upper cabinets went in much smoother than I expected. 
We removed the lower  cabinets on the left side after church and are at a bit of a standstill.  It is difficult to move until the neighbour who wants the cabinets comes to pick them up and we are having a chicken and egg conundrum.  You know - what comes first the floor or the cabinets?  Okay maybe the microwave should come first, then the floor or cabinets.
