Enough Lollygagging

OK, I've covered the major issues that warrant a remodel. There are tons of additional things that need help, but they aren't major enough to mention...

...Like the bowed counter that is pulling away from the sink and letting dishwater leak on my oatmeal: manageable.
...And the chipped back splash tile, squeaky floor, leaky faucet, and faulty plumbing: totally livable.
...And having no light switch, no light over the sink, cabinet doors that won't stay closed, etc.: not even going to bring it up.

In fact, enough lollygagging. It's time to roll.

Wife and I packed everything up and moved it out of the kitchen: dishes, table, flyswatter--everything. (OK, everything but the curtains.)

We've budgeted, we've planned, we've researched.
I've mapped out our steps from A to Z.
We've identified the must-havs and listed the can-do-withouts.
Corners have been cut, money saved, sleep lost.

The only thing left to do now is to take a big swig of sweet tea...and grab a crowbar.
