curb cutting

We have a driveway now! We kept a little bit of a lip/raise on the edge so that water doesn't collect, and so that the driveway doesn't eventually crack where it meets the street

ikea kitchen

Last week, Debjoy and I made and installed our Ikea kitchen cabinets. This kitchen only cost us about $4k for the cabinetry (plus we get everything we want). The hardest part is making sure that the cabinets are level with each other. The cabinet fronts are missing because they wait for the granite to be installed first (bulls in a China store, as our contractor puts it)

electricity hookup and repointing of brick

The electric company wouldn't hook up the electrical box to any plaster/siding, so it was mounted on the party wall, which they had to uncover since it was hiding underneath layers of plaster. The lights in the house are working, although plumbing and gas still need to be hooked up to the front.
