Thanks sigs.
People said I was crazy to spend all of that time on it, and they were probably right.
But I've got a pretty sweet custom kitchen you couldn't just buy and install from the store now that cost me just a couple more bucks than the cheapest fridge you could pick up at Best Buy.
It's just a shame that the cabinet doors don't have windows in them since a lot of artistry went into the insides of the cabs. Especially those lazy susan corner units.
I learned a lot too, and that's invaluable.
It's a shame I probably couldn't go into business doing this though. My step-mom asked my dad if I could do their cabinets. He told her not unless you want him living here the next half-year while he's getting it done.

Your grandmother was very lucky you were walking behind when that happened. I suggest next time walk beside her and if she will allow it, take her elbow or hand then maybe you can prevent the fall before it happens. Had to do things like that with my mum once in a while.
She'll allow it. I think up until that point I didn't want to assist her, even though I'd hover closely around her anytime stairs were involved just in case. She needs to get exercise after that hip surgery a few years ago and she just won't do it. The doctor said she could have walked without a cane if she did, but she needs two of them to get around now.
But after that fall, I'm not taking any chances anymore. Until she starts exercising I've got to be supporting her from now on.

I understand. I also understand the stubborness of older women. My mum and my aunts were like that too. Need a lot of patience to deal with them for sure.
Yes, exercise will help that hip too.

Sorry about the gross pics, but I don't think anybody could truly believe how bad it was unless they saw them.
I've now got around 1,800 pics just of work in the kitchen. At least I have a cool journal of what I've been doing for a large part of the last year and 10 days.

Don't worry those pictures just show how much work you put into the area and that's a good thing.

She's actually not nearly as stubborn about a lot of things as she used to be. I kind of miss that about her sometimes, but I'm sure it makes my Aunt's job a lot easier most days.
She'd let me hold on to her while she's walking. I just didn't want to do it before because she's already relying far too much on those canes she shouldn't have to use anymore if she actually got some exercise. But after having her fall on top of me probably being the only reason she wasn't back in for hip surgery, those days are over until she gets some exercise.
My aunt says the plan is to work with my uncle on getting her some personal training with her health insurance. My uncle was looking into it, but then my cousin was diagnosed with Leukemia and they've had a lot of things they're dealing with right now.
Hopefully soon.

Getting the fridge back on the temporary boards was a bit tricky, but I managed it without doing any damage. I pulled it far enough away to install and caulk/paint the baseboard trim behind it, and I'm getting ready to roll it out onto the 2nd set of temporary boards so I can cut out and lay the permanant protective platform for the fridge and get it rolled back onto it.
Yeah... Not going to be doing the door trim anytime soon. I did remove the latch out of the door knob there so I could work on repairing the hole that lies behind the strike, but just the 90 seconds or so that it took to do that let in a ton of cold air. I'm afraid that door won't get trimmed out until sometime in March.
Oh well...
I'll probably wrap that up and get the fridge back into place and call it a day. I already got my taxes prepared last night and into this morning, so the day has been a success.
Maybe tomorrow I'll start working on that coat closet.

I hope your family can work out something for her that will get her back on her feet.
