Kitchen progress

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been working on getting the kitchen built out. It started with a visit to Best Buy and Ikea:


We loaded up the truck with a new fridge and then picked up all of the cabinets from Ikea. We forgot to think through whether everything we were ordering would actually fit in the truck, but fortunately with enough shoving, everything fit in.



Out at the cabin we started replacing our bare bones kitchen. We built out some of the cabinets and hooked up the refrigerator, which resulted in:


Cold beer! It's been nice to have a way to store food that stays cold for more than a couple of days.


The next weekend we built out more of the cabinets, so most of the kitchen is set up now. We also got the farmhouse sink in place. That weekend was also the first weekend we had (cold) running water, so we actually have a functioning sink!

Still a bit of work to do to finish off the kitchen, and we're still waiting on our stove to be delivered, but it is coming together nicely. I think for this winter we'll be making do with plywood countertops; we'll figure out how to finish those off next year some time.
