I know you've all been waiting for this update..
as to what's happening with the kitchen.
We have floor. The tiler laid the tiles on Saturday and we're doing the grouting. We did about half last night and should finish tonight.
We also have walls - most of them anyway. Xavier and little_foxy came along last Sunday and helped put most of the wall lining in place. Well, Styvyn and Xavier did the work. Little_foxy and I spent most of the time talking and watching a DVD. There's really not a lot of room in that kitchen when two guys are wielding hammers. We all went out to dinner afterwards.
We have dates for the actual installation of the kitchen. It's being delivered next Monday, installed on Tuesday & Wednesday with final trades on Thursday. Then I'll habe my kitchen back!
Mind you, I hope they send a better electrician than they did to do the roughing. He really made a mess of the walls and left wires where they'll be plastered into the wall if we don't do something. In addition, he managed to almost electrocute himself! I think we'll go for our own electrician to put lights etc in.
As everything is happening next week, it was definitely time to organise the final few items - the canopy range hood, the sink and the tap. The range hood was organised - only delivery to be sorted out. The sink and tap have since been sorted with a little help from Xavier. All should be ready to go when the installers get here.
Yes, I have been taking photos. I'll probably put some of them up on Friday - assuming I can get to my computer.
