The fumes have pretty dissipated around the house and the plumber is there installing the kitchen sink and dishwasher. My husband needs to hook up the stovetop and oven (he may feel comfortable hooking up gas after having done it before, but I'm not).

I can move back into my house again, and a working kitchen is so close, I can almost taste the steamy soups and creamy cheesecakes I can start making. And did I mention that though the laundry room cabinets aren't finished, we do have the washer and dryer hooked up? I'm a girl of simple pleasures. A working kitchen and laundry facilities please me greatly.
