The $500 Kitchen

As most of you will recall, about 5 and 1/2 months ago, one sick morning, not only did I lose the previous nights dinner, but also my kitchen.  (Could I possibly fit another comma into that sentence??)  You can go back and find the post if your sweet little heart desires; however, I don’t care to rehash it in this post.

Five and a half months (most without use of cooking supplies) later, I am finally back in business.  I have lamented and kicked dust about the lack of a microwave, stove, and dishwasher (or even a good sink to wash dishes in), but I would never allow myself to gripe about my circumstances.  I could try and claim a noble reason for my tight lips, but I won’t.  Let me be completely honest.  This kitchen.  Scratch that.  This GORGEOUS kitchen, only cost me $500.  I will allow you a moment to reattach your jaw…

Okay, now that your jaw is back in place, I will explain.  $500 was the cost of the deductible.  The kitchen nearly cost me over $10,000.  It would have if the damage done had been just about anything other than burst pipes.  I thank God for saving my ass in this one.  (Actually, he saves my ass all the time, but I always notice the financial hiney savings most acutely).

So without further adieu… here is my new kitchen (and 1/2 bath!)
