Month: August 2003

  • The Kitchen Change

    Yesterday we moved the refridgerator and the stove. We got the stove electric line moved too, but still have the refrigerator electric line and water line to move. We’ll do at least the electricity portion tomorrow, Labor Day, September 1, 2003. We have the fridge plugged into another outlet temporarily. It’s right there, but the…
