Speed Blogging: Emerging from the Fumes

Just a short update. On our kitchen remodel.

I'm planning to write a more thorough description once it's complete.

I'm timing this update because I'm exhausted and need.to.get.to.bed. Plus I thought it would be fun to speed blog.

My list of new things that I've learned over the last few days?

Texture can come in a can, and the process of adding texture to a wall is texturing not texturizing. Our wall texture is "orange peel." The smell of the texture in a can? Potent.

GFCI plugs are code for a kitchen (ground fault circuit interrupter).
