		<title>More Travel And Kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I added a new airport to my list: Fayetteville, NC. Not big news, just one of my rare (at least now) business trips. There’s not much to do in Fayetteville, so I don’t really have anything to write about. However, I do have some things to say about our “completed” home remodel. I’m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Got Rock!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, the last of the “big” installs is done. And I mean BIG. They brought up through our crooked staircase a granite slab large enough to crush several men if it fell while they were moving it. All of our counters are seamless sections now. We’re very happy with our fabricators. The stone is called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sadness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is a melancholy day. Oh, most things are looking up mind you. The remodel is coming along and I’m sanding and painting the patches in the wall and ceiling. The electrician will be in tomorrow to finish most of the work. And, I even have a new opportunity at work which should help my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Almost There &#8211; We Have Cabinets!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long day of very skilled work, the installers have completed the main phase of the cabinet install. They have to leave a few things undone for the electricians to finish and the plumber to attach things, but for the most part, they’re done! Tomorrow is major electrical work and hopefully granite templating followed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Floor: Complete!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After four days of very loud pounding and sawing [and lots of the accompanying dust] our floors are finally done! They are beautiful. Now, we just have to learn how not to scratch them. Our next step will be moving our furniture back into place in the living/dining area. We’ll be able to do this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Floors: Almost There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the third day of our flooring install. This morning, they repaired the whole in the floor that the plumber had to make to move the island over… and they did it EARLY. I’m glad, but I had to be up and ready early for them to come in. And they had to do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Demolition Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I stayed home from work to watch our kitchen fall apart. We first had to clean out all of our kitchen stuff – which I must say is quite a job. We then created a “kitchenette” upstairs in a spare bedroom. The demolition team arrived at noon to this clean, neat kitchen: A mere [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Whole Slab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We made a journey the other day to the same area that our granite counter top fabricator’s shop is, so we thought we’d stop in and see the slab. We had chosen it from a company out in Jessup, MD and they then shipped the slab to our fabricators. Here’s a shot of it: Pretty, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let There Be Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, Laura and I are in the process of renovating our kitchen. We have already started with the electrical work, and next week [Wednesday] we will begin the demolition phase. We will, of course, be posting some photos – like these of some electrical work: Here are some of the after [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Proper Cut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having attempted barbeque brisket a couple of times before in my smoker and not being completely satisfied, I’ve sought advice on how to proceed from those who have tasted success… literally. The key, it seems, is the meat. Not just the quality of the meat, though, but the cut. Most briskets here are trimmed and [...]]]></description>
