Good for Toast. Somebody has to be on bug patrol. My little panther, Auri, brought me a nice rat this morning. What a good girl! I don't eat breakfast, so I gave it to the chickens to fight over.

Thanks! Did you get your stuff sorted last night and get any sleep?

Yes. Guys arrived with a moving truck and got the rest of the stuff out of my locker and then unloaded it. I was probably a headache for my very nice contractor. :D :D They'll be here this morning to fix the missing connection for my gas line.

The kitchen looks great! Our big kitchen reno right now is a new sink. Whee!

What are you getting? The counter guy threw in the kitchen sink to sweeten the deal, and I picked out a deep single-basin stainless that will be undermounted.

Undermounted is the way to go. So much easier to clean the counter, and no leaks through into the undersink storage area.

Single-basin (it's a double basin right now and I really don't like it) brushed stainless that is drop-in. I want to get undermounted, but that will have to wait until we do a bigger reno.
