Two Steps Forward, One Step Back.

The stain went on the new hardwood floor today.  The match to the existing floor is perfect.  Tomorrow a seal coat will go on.



 
When I was beginning to lay out cabinet location/finding the high point of the room, it became apparent that the kitchen is out of level by almost an inch from one end to the other.  Because of this, the receptacles in the island are out of level when compared to where the countertop will be.  Also, the windows are equidistant from the ceiling, but not level.  I feel that the out of level will show most dramatically in the grout lines of the backsplash tile and the distance from the receptacles and windows to the counter, so things have to move.  Thanks to the Palmer team for being understanding with my pickiness.  In a few days the receptacles and windows will be level and the cabinet install will begin. It will take some trickery with the trim work to hide the difference at the ceiling and floor, but it should be worth it in the end.
