lol, you guys are pretty funny.
The "surprise" part is that I didn't know I was gonna get new cabinets. I have no MONEY for new cabinets, lol.
What happened is my dear Mom hired this fellow to do some carpentry work for her at her place, and she liked him, was impressed with him. He's unemployed so she decided to give him more work, by way of buying me new cabinets!
Which is really nice for me (or will be, when all's said and done) as my old ones look like from a crack house, basically. 70's particle board, vinyl fake wood, etc.
But getting new cabinets kind of begs that the whole room (which is quite small) be re-done too, so I started ripping the flooring off. There was a spot under the stove where I discovered wood floor under all the old layers of linoleum. I hoped to strip it all down and refinish the floor and have wood floor in the kitchen. But under most of the old linoleum there is this very strong black stuff that won't allow itself to be separated from the wood. Have tried heat gun, boiling water, scraping and various other things, but the progress was so slow and tedious that I gave up on that.
But even beyond the floor there's other stuff to accomplish, like painting.
So that's what I've been doing off and on.
Have gone out and sat by the bike a few times, and its been good really to have a break from that, in a way, as I am getting a bit of a different perspective on how to do certain things.
Anyway, hopefully the new cabinets will be installed next weekend and then I can get back to the bike.
