Well, we've finally decided to go ahead with having the kitchen redone. This may involve bricking up a door & window (almost certainly the window, not sure about the door yet), for which we are getting quotes. And kitchen people will be coming around to give estimates. And so on. I hate this part, almost more than the disaster zone the kitchen will be when they are working on it. But when it's done, it should be great. It's just the getting there...
