ho-hum

So far, no solution to our kitchen range problem...the tile guy came by today and cutting the tile out won't be enough for the range and counter to reach. I had Hector call the kitchen contractor to have them come and look for themselves. The people don't seem to understand that the island is too low for the range so I want them to fix the counters. Hector thinks that if they can add a 1/2 inch border around the cut-out will make up the difference. This has really delayed the end of this remodel. Ugh. Besides that mess, I helped Hector put the island hood up and it looks pretty good. He also put our new TV on an articulating mount so it swivels out from the wall then put it flat against the wall when we're through. For now, my little Christmas party will have to wait...
