Eeewww! And that's just one side (but the worst side). Before you spew, just think about the last time you pulled your range out to clean the sides of it. Maybe you are someone who does that once a week, but if you are like most of us - you haven't done it in six months or more - if ever! Spills happen. The stuff has to go somewhere. It made me wonder if cooktops are a better design if just for the reason above. But where does the stuff go when the pot boils over on your cooktop?
So yesterday I cleaned the sides of the range until they looked like new (toothpick treatment). Here's another task I'll have to add to my list - pull out the range and clean sides - I think 2x a year will have to do.
We also made it to Ikea and bought the butcherblock for the buffet area. Wow, I had never been to Ikea before. I told Chuck we would be in and out. Well, as you know, that is just not possible. I guess if I had some clue as to how they snake you through the whole store just to get to the department you want and then to the checkouts - what a brilliant marketing strategy. I saw some things I would have loved to look at in more detail, but with Chuck waiting in the car, and Gwen and Tess in tow, it wasn't practical. I'll have to visit after the kitchen is done and I know exact measurements.
I also got rid of some of my cabinets - the others will not go for another 2 weeks, which is unfortunate because I need that space!
Dave stopped by today to ask me about the window - more decisions - do I want white or pine inside, they only have certain options for the inserts, etc. Everything is a 3 week lead time for ordering this stuff because no one is stocking this stuff.
Today I hope to get some more stuff put away into the garage, but I need to do some rearranging out there. Better get cracking.
