Progress is progressing

Fueled primarily by leftover Halloween candy, we are making slow but steady progress on the kitchen. We had to re-mud the drywall behind the stove, and it's going to require two coats (at least, I suck at mud), and each coat has to dry FOREVER before we can put up the next. This makes things very difficult for people like myself, who want things done yesterday at the latest.
