New kitchen

And you'll be getting lots of sleep, too!
One thing we learned YEARS ago was that it is not a good idea to be too quiet when kids are trying to sleep. Otherwise they become sensitive to the least little noise, and you have to tiptoe around for several years. SO, you should be able to just keep working on the kitchen, day or night . . .

So you mean that actual it is possible to be right at some point

Yeah that was the plan. At my current pace I won't be able to finish everything in time. If my estimate are correct I will still have to enclose the fridge and the washer & dryer, make the top molding and the arch over the sink :-X

I can't get over the difference between the original and yours. Wow.

Regarding being right -- no, that time hasn't come yet, as of almost 21 years since the pregnancy.
A friend of mine, a logger, has a bumper sticker that reads:
"A man stands alone in a forest.
There is no woman present.
Is he still always wrong?"
I quoted this to a woman friend of mine. Her immediate answer was, "YES!"

Hi Eli,
This was indeed going to be the spice cabinet.
I think I am going to make a standard upper (I can cut one of thoses in less than an hour now that I have the trainning) and was maybe build some kind of tiny high tech wooden lazy suzan where I could store everything horizontally on multiple levels.
I will get to it as soon as I am done redoing the two doors that goes under the sink which I managed to cut (and glue) 1 1/2 inch short

Finally, the kitchen look like a kitchen again !!!
I took the day off today, and I had the time to finish all the doors.
The doors where installed with blum 3/4" overlay, the mortises for the cups were done on the drill press.
I experimented with the LR32 system but the process is really slow for that task.
I of course use the C12 to install everything but I wished Festool would provide a full set of self centering bits. I ended up having to use a set from Snapy mounted on the C12 with the BHS 65 which is not the most comfortable setup.
I also added some blumotion for door which are extremely easy to install and works great.
From now on my project will probably slow down quite a bit as a new member will be added to the family tomorrow.
I will next tackle the area around the fridge...

Emmanuel,
I agree with Lancashire, but many of the best moments of my life came when my daughter "became mobile." She (at age 3) "helped" me lay bricks when I added on a garage/shop at my former house, and later really helped me tear down an deck that was poorly constructed of poorly chosen materials by the contractor who built the house, and later truly worked to help with finish sanding of a writing table that I made for her. Your life will never again be the same as it was before she arrived, but you are going to love it and her!
