Before moving the cabinets and electric boxes. You can see how close those boxes are to each other under the 30"x30" cabinet.

I got the blasted wallpaper border off.

There are boards that run horizontal on the exterior walls at 8' all around the house. In this room there was a weird, dark, granular substance on top of the board. The area where the wall and ceiling meet was very poorly patched after the house settled and a crack opened up. I broke into the patch removing the border.

And it rained down ants on me.
I blasted away with some Home Defense and slaughtered them. After cleaning up the mess, I caulked the top of that board to seal it. The little ant corpses kept raining down into my caulk joint!
This is about the sixth batch I cleaned off.

I zipped up to dad's house for the bucket of mud only to find that it was practically empty. But still had just enough to patch the gap to keep any further ants from falling out.

I managed to get all the cabinet doors, drawer fronts and boxes sanded and vacuumed.

It was a long day!

That will be a nice kitchen when it is finished!

I dare not ask how much the Illy is that my daughter sends me. I just say thank you and enjoy it.
To be honest, I drink Illy and Lavazza out of habit. There are plenty of very good coffee brands here.

I do not know about those brands. I roast my own beans here and sometimes roast some for espresso.

It is very tasty coffee!

Actually I've never heard of the brands he and @Perris are discussing

They are Italian. Smooth and dark and delicious

I roast my own beans here

I thought my brother was committed to coffee, but even he doesn't do that. Roasting your own beans takes it to a completely different level!

Afternoon rain here and 64F. I got lots of stuff done today so I am happy for the break.

I roasted some this afternoon. I will be brewing up a moka pot with dinner tonight

I have been roasting them so long I do not think I could go without them!
