The contractors started work October 28th. They said it&#8217;d be done by November 26th, two days before Thanksgiving\u00a0&#8230; and it was, minus one cabinet (the one if the upper left of the after photo) and the tiling on the walls. Those were up by\u00a0December 16th: a month and a half in all. Here&#8217;s the best part: we stayed within our budget. Compared to home and\u00a0kitchen remodeling horror stories we hear from friends, our\u00a0experience has been\u00a0miraculously good and trouble-free. We are delighted.<\/p>\n<p>Details?
