Aloha from Our Kitchen

We spent 10 days in Hawaii forgetting about the kitchen and instead enjoying sights like this.When we got back, there was a bill for the dumpster waiting for us. Apparently, we'd gone 1.41 tons over the base amount. I never saw the dumpster when it was filled, but Ryan took this photo. For our first weekend back on the kitchen project, we started to tackle the drywall. It took a couple hours to get the drywall (we had to rent a truck from Home Depot, and we were about 10 minutes too late at the closest store to get their last truck), and a couple hours to hang the first ceiling piece. To be fair, we started where the most cutouts were required, so it took a lot of finessing. But now, we have one sheet up! Only 26 left to go.

It also took a while to get used to the screw gun, including finding the perfect countersink and making sure to actually hit a beam.
Once the mud is on, I'm sure no one will ever know.
