We apologize for the lack of pictures, but we are happy to report that we do in fact have countertops!
And, we love the last minute substitution more than the original one we picked out.
Fingers crossed that our appliances go in today. We will post pictures over the weekend!

Progress Without Pictures...
So in the sty that is our house right now we can't find our camera... and due - we think - to the storms that swept through the area yesterday, we don't have phone or internet.
Thus, we thought we'd pass along the progress the old fashion way... by word of mouth :-)
Our new refrigerator is plugged in (albeit without the water hooked up) and the old one has been taken away (may it rest in peace). The new microwave we bought over the weekend is sitting on it's own personal shelf, and both the dishwasher and range are in place, though not hooked up, as the plumber needs to do that. The new radiator is sitting in front of its assigned wall also awaiting the plumber.
Additionally, the dust wall and all the dust mats that were covering the floors are gone so cleaning can happen soon. The contractor thinks we may be done (with the exception of some minor fixes) by the end of next week (for those keeping track, that would be the end of week 4).
Hopefully, we will find our camera and Verizon will fix our service today (I think the former is more likely than the latter).

We're absolutely floored!!!!
Literally.
It truly is a historic day in America. The great divide has been bridged. It's amazing. No longer will anyone be able to look at our floor and see plywood. It's been tiled.
Actually, the kitchen really looks a lot like a kitchen. We've got the new flooring, the dishwasher is in place (though not hooked up), and most of the molding has been finished. The counters are in progress, and are supposed to be installed next Monday. There's still a lot to be done, but they seem to think we could be nearing completion by the end of next week!
But we still have 2 fridges in the living room... which should we use?!?!??!?!

It's beginning to look a lot like...
A KITCHEN!
So we've been a little delinquent on posting. But what a few days it's been!
The pictures don't really do it justice -- but the cabinets are all up and look great. It's really opening up the room -- and looks quite nice.
Above is the view from the living room through to the kitchen (yes, we are going to get a new chandelier and move it too!).
The empty space between the cabinets is where the range will go, and the empty box on the back wall where the microwave will go.
Newly framed out windows and real sills - we may not have real window sills anywhere in this house!
Dan is playing the role of the fridge here. There's been a slight glitch in the color of the side panels, but they'll fix it. No biggie!

One more day this week -- who knows what sort of fun tomorrow will bring!!
