Shower time!

The cultured marble shower panels were delivered and installed. I'm still scratching my head as to why I paid a $60 "measuring fee" when I had to cut every single panel to get a correct fit. Is this normal or did I just get milked for 60 bucks??

Wall prepped with liquid nail adhesive for the first panel:

Cabinet doors!

Almost a week later and we've got (most) doors! No handles, but there's doors! They also added an 18" cabinet and shelves to the island that were not initially installed. Also added to the island was the leg extension where the wine cooler will go. (man, I wonder who installed that sweet hidden outlet in the bottom of the island???)

Once the cabinet bases were installed, things seemed to slow down a lot. 4th of July holiday coupled with the cabinetmaker's vacation halted a lot of the cabinet progress, but allowed for the applicance installs. We opted for 30" Frigidaire double convection ovens, a mid-grade dishwasher, and a fairly large refrigerator.
