Just for the record, I do intend for today's post to be an ironic commentary, one that compares humorously the fact that there are two or three dozen tasks still to be accomplished in the kitchen remodel to the impetuousness of still-President Bush in declaring "mission accomplished" rather too early in the war in Iraq. I am not taunting Fate and hoping for a seemingly endless "kitchen quagmire."
So what's left? Today I did the toe kicks, the seal between the two pieces of countertop and painted behind the oven. I actually spent the morning doing my real job, and responding to most of those emails that I haven't responded to yet. Still on the horizon:
- one baseboard to remove and replace
- finish painting the ceiling edge
- painting all the baseboards
- dealing with the gap behind the countertop
- tile
- dealing with the actually straight but apparently crooked lamp over the sink
- adjusting the slightly crooked dishwasher
- fixing one cabinet to the countertop above it
- painting the chair rail
- painting the second window
- painting all the door trim
- removing the pantry door, thorough sanding, painting
- hooking up the pot rack
- adding the open shelving
- adding magnetic strips for spices and knives
As you can see, it's not an insignificant list. Mission accomplished!

Well done, Mr. President. There are still pieces of toekick and moulding unfinished in our kitchen, and we declared an end to hostilities in February!
