| Everything is set |
In October, we had a kitchen cabinet guy all lined up. We drew out plans and talked with him about the different options. We choose materials and discussed a lot of the small things that we'd do to finish the kitchen. He told us he would provide the CAD drawings so we could get counter tops ordered and then he'd be ready to install the week of Thanksgiving.

As Thanksgiving approached we reached out to see how things were progressing. We still hadn't received the drawings nor heard from anyone. No answer. Try again, still no answer or call back. Come to find out our cabinet guy was out of state working on a job in Seattle with no end date.
Marta had done a ton of research into options so it was time for option 2. She found a company out of Kentucky called Cabinotch that custom buids cabinet boxes for you and ships them right to your door. It meant more work for us, and a ton more research time for Marta learning about drawers, slides, and doors, but when did that ever deter us?

We took our face frames to the best finisher around at Judkins Custom Finishing who also happens to ber my brother in-law.
In the end, it has been a lot of work, but we saved a ton of money and are ending up with the nicest cabinets we could have. Dove-tailed drawers, custom lazy-susans, all birch insides, soft close doors - there's no kidding around in this kitchen.
