Harley,

Those Tevas are my scuzy sandals, but they hurt my feet; the socks help. That make it OK? I don't suffer for fashion.

Hank,

Good one. I'm surprised that so many people don't immediately see the utility of under-cabinet windows to shed natural light on the counter. I put two of 'em in my last kitchen, and they worked out great.

Dan,

At my age I'm startin' to think I'd like to have some golden years, so I try not to get too crazy, but the scaffold does look a bit Rube Goldberg.

The cabinets are far enough along that the counter top folks are coming out Friday to make their template measurements. I should watch real close cuz I can measure three times and still get it wrong.
