Good afternoon friends.  We went to Carpet Exchange today and made the definite selections on the hardwood and carpeting now that all the measurements are in, and wrote the check - OUCH&#33;&#33;&#33;  Then went to look at stoves even though I thought I had decided so didn&#39;t really want to do that, but glad Greg forced me because I ended up getting a different one.  The hardwood floor installer can&#39;t get to us until Mar. 12, and he has to be the first workman here.  He will be putting the new stove in after he installs the flooring under the spot where it goes.  He said he needs 4-5 days so the carpeting guys are coming the following week.  It is my plan to have the carpenter here to extend the island at the same time that the carpet guys are here, then the cabinet painter and finally the countertops.  I am hoping that everyone will be able to finish their work within a 4-5 week timeframe, but as Cheryl (GottaCruz) can testify to, kitchen remodels (or any home improvement work, for that matter) don&#39;t always go as planned.  I took my &quot;before pics&quot; and will post them along with the &quot;afters&quot; when it is all finished.  What does everyone else have going this weekend?
