It's a SINK!

The kitchen plan is almost done! The latest addition to the kitchen plan is changing the kitchen table from plan 3 out for a little breakfast nook (see below). The cabinet will be placed on the floor as a bench that is wide enough to be a one-seater, so the idea is to have a small table in front of it. The idea came from yet another visit to Ikea on Saturday.

The excitement for today is that I just bought a pedestal sink! Good ol' Craig's List came to the rescue for yet another cost savings measure. It's slightly used, but for the price of $50 it's worth it! It's got a large bowl and nice, simple stand, which is exactly what I was looking for. The only things remaining to purchase for the bathroom for installation is a mirror and light fixture. The cabinet(s) can come at our leisure since they don't need to be installed.

Tomorrow, Mr. GC (general contractor) is meeting with the structural engineer to review the removal of the wall between the kitchen and laundry area. His plan is promised to be ready next Monday.

This Thursday is the signing of escrow papers and next Tuesday is close of escrow! So I have one short week to prepare all parts of the permit for submission for approval to the city of Sunnyvale's building department on Wednesday the 28th. As soon as the permits are in hand, we can begin work!
