Just like a well managed software project, eventually something gets delivered. This time it's only about 2 weeks behind schedule with only a bit of scope creep, but there's a kitchen in our house and it looks pretty damn good. Here's a picture taken earlier tonight :

Only a few things left for the kitchen; a little molding, some minor touch ups and the doors.
The bathroom is nearly done but we're being plagued by some fixture problems. The toilet came without a handle, the shower valve cover was flawed and the medicine cabinet/mirror/plasma TV was broken upon delivery and needs some repair. And the custom made vanity needs another coat of paint and the granite countertops get measured this week and installed with the sink next week. This is going to be one fine looking bathroom...and all I really want is a damn shower !!!
The electrician continues to be a source of aggravation. Last week he installed a new circuit breaker box and "forgot" to flip a switch or change a breaker or something and a number of switches didn't work over the weekend....including those in my office. His response "sorry about the inconvenience" which he uttered around 9:30 on Monday morning. Oh well, he'll be out of our hair in a week or so.
So, if you're keeping track, we'll be done for the most part by the beginning of May which was our original target.
Most importantly though, we're very happy about the end result.
