Home, Home on the (Kitchen) Range

No these aren’t our cabinets. Ours are likely on a dock, lying amidst a labyrinth of containers, sitting idle in Shanghai, waiting to be placed aboard a cargo ship with 10,000 other fully laden containers. Sigh…

Previously we posted that we planned on moving to Florida sometime this summer after our new home was completed, passed inspection and was fit for occupancy. Well, things have changed and our timeline has had to be reevaluated. The recent lockdown in Shanghai has slowed the delivery of all sorts of manufactured goods, from diecast tanks and planes to, of all things, kitchen cabinets. Without cabinets, we are unable to move into our new residence and presently our building coordinator does not have an accurate idea as to when the cabinets will be completed, on the water, in Florida and hung in our brand new kitchen. This could take place in October or it could be as late as November. If it is November, it appears as if we will have no choice but to delay our move until early 2023, since it will have a dramatic impact on our holiday business. So, for now, assume everything hasn’t changed and we will continue to accept new product as it is made available. Obviously should anything change we will post an update here to let everyone know about our revised plans.
