kitchen remodel 23

I heard from the cabinetmaker. It doesn't sound like he'll be able to install this weekend. I hope he can do it on a weeknight then, since we'll be out of town the following weekend.

I also asked him how much the crown molding sticks out from the cabinets. He said the cabinets plus molding comes to 16-3/4". So I was able to go around and touch up the areas on the ceiling that would be past that. I did my almost-final sanding, and one last, light application of joint compound. tomorrow I will be able do the final, light sanding, and then paint.

I suppose I should do the ceiling first. I wonder how much we'll need. I've got half a gallon of what the kitchen used to be. Or should I use that on the south wall. That one leads into the family room, so we'll leave it the original near-white. The new color is a light almond, I guess.

Oh, damn, do I need to take the counter off the peninsula, and clean up the wall before the new countertop goes in? To patch up anything that might be left exposed?

Yes, take the counter out and patch and paint.
