It will be a huge project, even tho my kitchen is small....doggies have to go to daycare and that alone is a job! We are doing demo and floor install. Cabinets are ordered and the guy installing gave me a decent bid. We are doing the general contracting...(we have built several homes, so, yeah, we know about the overruns.) It is a face lift....no real moving of walls or stuff...new cabinets, counters, sink and floor. Hey the cabinets and floor are made in the USA! So we provided work for some fellow countrymen.

I am sure I will be worse for the wear....in one month it will be over. It won't get rough until Friday....that is the kitchen demo.

Soap? The danger is over rated....if you are reasonably safe with goggles, gloves and mask....it is fine. Yes, lye is caustic....keep it locked up and handle with care.

Kitt....my soap turned creamy white. It was pink when I poured it. Cool.
