So as I mentioned in the thread about the new shortblock for the race car, my wife allowed me to spend our "free money" from the government too easily. I knew something was coming.
Something came tonight.
That something? An entire "build it yourself" kitchen from IKEA that is now in approximately 1457 flat boxes in my mud room. So much for finishing up sticking the motor in the car this weekend. I got home from work and my mother in law was over to mind my son, my wife told me we were going to look at kitchen stuff.
3 Hours and two near hernias later I had finished loading all of this crap into the bed of my truck. A 1-ton truck was about to pull the wheels with all the weight in the bed.
I'll keep this thread updated with photos through the weekend. My goal is to have this thing buttoned up by Monday night. That includes demoing the current kitchen, assembling all the Swedish stuff we bought, hanging the cabinets, intalling the new sink, and all the other ancillary crapola that goes along with it.
Seth happened to call while we were at the store to give me an update on the Chevelle purchase and probable road trip. Since my wife was all juiced up on the endorfin high of blowing a pile of money she was all in favor of the road trip idea. The problem is, I have no idea what that's gonna cost me down the road.
Stay tuned...this is going to be interesting.
