Praise the Lord this is not a matter of life or death or an issue of eternal significance but boy oh boy is it a nusance!
Here’s the story…
We were hoping the new cabinets and countertops would be put in place yesterday. Well, the countertops were not ready so everything was set up for today. The guys showed up early and got to work tearing out the old, water damaged cabinets. When the end of the cabinet next to the pantry was removed, there it was……mold. A healthy or should I say a very unhealthy crop. Construction came to a screeching halt as we began to explore, make phone calls, and plan the next course of action. Bleach came into play as did the loss of the largest cabinet…the pantry. I’ve submitted pictures to our insurance and we are praying for some help but whether we get it or not doesn’t matter, this is a serious issue that must be eradicated.
The cabinet guys took the measurements and will have the new pantry ready for installation on Wed. PROBLEM! The flooring guys were to install the kitchen floor on Mon and Tues but have had to move to Tues and Wed. So………..they will do their thing and the cabinet guys will complete their work, prayerfully, on Thursday.
Patty is having some difficulty with it all. Her dad is here, her brother is coming in from ATL tomorrow and we are having Christmas dinner tomorrow night. NO SINK AND EATING WITH PLASTIC ON PAPER PLATES but we’re moving forward. Remember, of course, Patty’s mom is not with us either so your prayers are very much appreciated.

Blessings,
John
