Roadtrip

With our cabinet layout finalized and the framing nearing completion, we took a roadtrip to the new Cincinnati IKEA in late June purchase the cabinets.




Yes, it took two cars to pickup all the cabinets. The folks at IKEA were great. They stayed late on a Friday night assembling the order and helping load. Thanks, guys!


Also continued to hang drywall and work thru other details....like the cooktop vent placement. There was an existing vent opening already in the wall, but of course, it ended up being too low, so I needed to cut a hole for a new one. This was not as easy as it sounds because the outside siding is stone...um, fake stone made from cast concrete rather. My sawzall wasn't up to the task and the access was impossible for a circular saw with a diamond blade. Thanks to the suggestion from a friend, a 4" grinder with a diamond blade....worked like a charm.
