1,000 Trips to IKEA

I keep hearing that remodeling always costs more than budgeted and takes longer than estimated. So far the budget is ok... but the time is definitely beginning to add up and the mess is getting on our nerves. Thank goodness we have a vacation coming up.
I've made at least 5 return trips to IKEA in the past 2 weeks. So while it's not 1,000. I'm sure I'll get there before the end of this remodeling is done.
Today (day 9) the upper wall cabinets were finally installed. The base cabinets have they're legs attached and will hopefully get put in place next.
Thursday (6/11 - day 8) our shiny new refrigerator was delivered. I can't wait until it actually gets a home in the kitchen and stops sitting in our living room!
Days 6 and 7 consisted of more electrical work, patching the walls and getting the water line for the ice maker through the ceiling. Some primer also got up on the walls. When these cabinets come down in the future, the next owner will still get to see a thin line of the turquoise wall paint. Won't that be fun?
