It could have used a little salt.

Tonight, I had a home cooked meal.
It may not seem like that big of a deal, but it’s the first meal we’ve cooked in our home in the last four months(give or take a few days).
Why? Because we didn’t have a kitchen.
No crap. For the last four months, there was no kitchen in our house. Since I had removed the first floor bathroom earlier, we didn’t have any form of running water on the first floor. This meant that we carried any dishes upstairs to the master bathroom for washing.
I put the sink in today and after resolving an issue with a clogged waste pipe, we had running water again. Although I still have a bit to do in the form of base, kickplate and cabinet surrounding trim, we now have a fully functional kitchen.
I think my wife would like to sleep in there for a few nights. I think that I might steer clear of that end of the house for a while.
Chloe will bring me food. For reasons I’m sure you can understand, I can’t go out to eat for a while.

Mmmm… now that is good use of butter.

Ah, the wonderful homey breakfast smell of cooking bacon mingling with the pungent reek of fresh mastic and uncured silicone sealant.
Ayup! That’s a Norman Rockwell moment to treasure.
All kidding aside, I’m glad it’s coming together.

Hey, thanks guys. We overlook the drywall dust settling on our plates and the random bent nail in one of our dishes.
I think my wife is just relieved that I finished the room, irregardless of how it turned out
thanks,
