today

Today the guys came to install my cooktop, saying we don't cut the counter.  They called someone to cut the counter.  He came, saying this won't fit.  They said, you could get a smaller one, but you will need to wait for it and pay $1000.  They said you could get an electric one and call an electrician to install it. I asked about several other possible adjustments, they said no. They left and I bought a new cabinet, took apart the old one for the parts I needed, built it, cut off any glued on spacers which were in the way, and tried to fit it in the space as well as possible.  I'm discouraged and decided to start again tomorrow.  They also said the cabinet needed to be attached to the wall, which is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.  Things are coming along, and this is not aids or cancer, so I'm not worrying about it.

Special loving for the journey to Sally, who is dealing with cancer, and all those who love her.

Love, elly
