Jim was bound and determined to get my mom's old Keurig working - he just hates putting more things in landfills.  So he opened it up again (the hardest part of the whole process!) and found a loose connection.  It now works!  We're going to use it for a couple days to make sure, and then he's going to advertise it on Craigslist.

We were hoping we could go outside this afternoon, but the forecast was iffy and it did end up raining.  So Jim wanted to finish up the front wall.  He put the sealer on...

Then he started taking the tape off...

Lots of tape to remove...

Cleaning up edges with a toothbrush...

Look how fabulous this edge looks!  Plus, Jim got the receptacle plates back on...

Starting to put the light back up...

However, now that the wall is thicker, the screws weren't long enough to make the connection for the face plate to fit.  Jim had to take the plate off, find longer screws and then put it together...

Putting the light fixture back together...

Jim still has to modify the bottom window molding, but beside that, everything is done and looks amazing!  I really love it and it has transformed the kitchen.
