Appliance shopping

After letting the contractors in and having a quick meeting, I was off for the day mainly to look at appliances. I ran to Sears and had a quick look to get my bearings for a more thourough search later. I was mainly trying to get a feel for prices compared with what we saw at Home Depot.

On a non-remodeling note, on my way to Sears some guy gave me "the finger" after cutting me off in traffic. He cruised to the front of a right turn only lane to beat all the traffic, and then cut in front of me causing me to jam on my breaks. I beeped at him, and he gave me the finger. I actually started laughing before I gave him one in return. Imagine the gall to cut someone off and then give them the finger!

I spent a good deal of the afternoon researching appliances online, and then met a friend for a quick dinner. She recently remodeled and knows a lot about appliances. After getting the lowdown from her, I came home and spent some more time on appliances. Then I worked on the kitchen layout until midnight! I am trying to find a way to put in an island or peninsula with seating around it. I love being able to have people in the kitchen, which is frequently where they end up anyway.
