Final Inspections - Granted! (Mostly...)

We had our final inspections done by the City yesterday. Other than we didn't have a CO detector in the guest room downstairs (true, that room is not related to the kitchen renovation but an inspector has to do his/her job well!) we passed all our mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspections. YAY!
After we install the CO detector, technically we will pass the building inspection and then the City will declare our kitchen renovation complete.

Apparently, the City doesn't care if we haven't completed the cosmetics yet such as the moulding, baseboard, light rails, as well as pulls and knobs on the cabinets. What a relief!  We thought we have to get all of that done prior to the final inspection.

Our electrical permit is expiring May 1st (tomorrow!) So, we made the electrical permit deadline by the hair of our chinny chin chin!

Since the cosmetics are not under any permit deadline, we can take our own sweet time to complete all of that, and to paint the door/window trims! I hope it will go quickly.

Here are the photos of our kitchen, sans thermoply on the floor.

Stove side (yumm... croissants!)

The "L" part of the kitchen
(the sink base is missing a door! :)

The other "L" part of the kitchen

The fridge wall

China cabinet, spiffed up! (Its doors are missing as they are being painted, but I think it looks good as is!)

Looking at the other side of the kitchen

The extras:

 Oil/Vinegar/Soy Sauce pull out unit
(using a Rev-A-Shelf add-on)

 The gas-shutoff toe-kick (the two photos above) is truly,
 borrowing JD's term, a "Southern Engineering" solution!

 The pantry, almost filled up.
To my Indonesian cousins - a drawer for Supermi is a must!

The floor, despite my earlier laments, has turned into a beautiful warm brown (thanks to Bona Traffic Semi Gloss finish!) The color of the floor complements the white of the cabinet, countertop and backsplash very well! 

We really appreciate all of you for your words of encouragement. You have helped us reach the finish line when things dragged on a wee bit too long.

We HEART our new kitchen!
