gentle readers, inquiring minds are asking, "what the ?!$@!! is a soffit?"
well, maybe not asking quite like that, but, you know, those inquiring minds really, really want to know. so here's the story:
soffits are the fake walls above the cabinetry. they hide space, without actually being anything themselves. it's really kind of profound when you think about it and would make a good riddle if someone could phrase it properly.
the new soffits were started today. they are not yet hiding anything, but someday, when they are big enough, they will hide all the space within. then they will officially be soffiting all that big, ugly unnecessary space. they will also be discouraging dust bunnies and perhaps a chicken or two.
now here is an interesting new development in the high-tech world of modern construction: tacky paper. it's fascinating. no really. before you leave the construction area, you step on it so all the dirt on your shoes sticks to it, and, voila! no tracking messy construction dust all over your nice clean carpeting! it's like magic! it's right up there with zippered plastic walls. someone out there has made a bundle with this stuff.
other news of the day: electrical plans for the kitchen. a bit like dance instructions, without all the music. mirror balls, you say? no, no mirror balls are in the design plans. some fluorescents, some halogens, some puck lights. today, we found out i may have to change out the halogens to conserve energy. first person to guess which are the halogens gets their name mentioned in the next installment.

I will guess that they are the pale grey circles with the parallel horizontal lines through them.
