New Kitchen

[emily_the_spoiled]

Unfortunately I can not postpone the trip (because I am presenting at the conference). My contractor is also my next door neighbor and he would be looking after the cats while I am gone anyway, so this way they just have "company". They know him and will come to him.

One good thing is that most of my guys will actually run in the opposite direction of an open door , so generally I do not worry about the cats getting out.

But they are delivering the cabinets today while I am at work, so it will be interesting to see what I go home to tonight...

WOW. This is just like me!! I hope the kitchen renovations go well, and, I need pictures! My kitchen is next. I have a new floor and ceiling, but, the walls, cabinets and counter tops NEED to go. Good luck.

One thing I have found with tradespeople in and out of my house is my stern warning, said with a smile, "I will hunt you down and hurt you if any of my cats are missing". Then I say, "no, seriously, PLEASE be careful of my cats". So far, I have had sucess.

What are you presenting, topic wise?

I figure that since my contractor is also my neighbor I would jus go talk with his wife (which is usually much more effective )

I am presenting a paper that looks at differences in the quality of medical care provided at specialy hospitals, general hospitals, and ambulatory surgery centers (real exciting huh???)
