Kitchen Renovations

The family have been working hard to build and install some custom cabinets in the kitchen.  We still need to install the hardware (pulls, spice rack, etc.) and install the ceramic tile on the wall and hook up the dishwasher.  It will be a couple of weeks before we are done because the hardware is coming in the mail.  So we are about 98% done.  It's been fun going from just sheets of plywood and melamine to what we have now.
 
Our special helper likes the new cabinets.
 
Before and after photos soon!

Broken Smoke Detector

Michele and I noticed the smoke detector in the hallway had a broken case.  Upon closer inspection it is not working.  We must have hit it during our renovations.
 
Looks like a normal direct wired smoke detector.

 
When we looked closer....
 
Damn!
