Look, my dad mounted the vanity cabinet. I suppose if I had been cooler I would have gotten on-wall or in-wall speakers, but pretend this looks great. I'll have Wiremold cable raceways to take the speaker cables up to the ceiling. Now I just need the mirror and light above the mirror mounted, and the faucet for the sink installed.

Sound wise, boxy speakers win ever time. Looks great also.

I like it. Good to see you left a dedicated outlet under each M3 so you can add per-channel subwoofers later.

Did a little more work today with my dad. He dropped the light fixture for above the mirror on the countertop, though, and chipped the porcelain. Hopefully some porcelain touch-up will make it less noticeable. It seems like no matter what, stuff like this is going to happen every step of the way.

For instance, I just found out today that we're somehow short on pieces that secure the kitchen cabinets to the suspension rails. We had one more base cabinet and one more upper cabinet to mount. We should have had four of a certain part left, but we only seem to have one remaining. But I do weird things in my sleep sometimes, so maybe I went downstairs and threw them away one night. Ha ha. Anyway, according to the FAQ on IKEA's website, I can't order the individual parts, but I can contact my local store and see if they can accommodate me. I don't have a local store, with the nearest ones being several hours away in Seattle or Portland. I don't remember ever seeing it at the Seattle location, but in Portland, right near the entrance is a large wall of the various bits and bobs that people might need spares of, and you can just walk in and take what you need. Convenient if you live nearby. Whatever I do, I should do it soon, since I don't know if they'll have the same pieces come February when they introduce their new cabinet system.

The mirror is up, although we couldn't mount it per the directions, since we didn't have studs where it wanted. My dad decided the best option was to screw directly into the mirror frame where the studs are located. It doesn't look terrible, but he's going to get some black screws to see if they blend better.

The faucet he had an extra of won't work, so I ordered one today from Amazon. More than I wanted to spend, but it's the same one my parents have (Moen S6700 90-Degree One-Handle Low Arc Bathroom Faucet, Chrome). I like it functionally, and it will go along well with the sink. Also, my dad and his friends have had really good experiences with Moen.

The M3s sound really good in there, even with less-than-ideal positioning.

There isn't an insane amount of work left before I can move down there, but it may take me a while to furnish the place. In any case, let's see what we can knock out in the next few weeks.

I love Moen faucets. I'm not sure I'll ever buy anything else again.

Do you want me to go to Ikea in Seattle for you?

When's the party?

When you show up with the case of beer, Gator Girl and the extra parts.
