Kitchen Part 3

Yes we were at it again this weekend.


Doesn't look like we did much does it? Probably looks worse if anything.
What we did do was;
- plaster board the hot plate recess
- fitted the p/b edging trims
- fixed the cabinets to the wall
- fixed the bench-top in place
- started flushing the mortar joints ready for a texture coat
- lots of finishing trims were cut and put aside

I'm still enjoying the renovation process. Misch's enthusiasm comes and goes. We're taking our time and not rushing it so we get it right and looks good.

Oh and we also installed a solar powered motion sensor light. We have to wait 36hrs for it to charge before we can use it. Misch finally has light to unlock the back door. Its only taken 18 months of nagging, sorry politely requesting for it to happen.

That's the weekend right there.

I'd also like to wish our good mate Benton an easy transition to a more peaceful place. Thinking of you mate. Vale Juksey.

Kitchen Part 2

It all seems simpler this time round. Either that or we're getting better at assembling Swedish kitchens.

We want it to match this;


but it looks like this;


So we're doing this;


and this;

and we're currently at this point;

meanwhile Archie is wandering about the house in his rather fetching mushroom smoking jacket.

Ok its been awhile since our last post but we have finally done some stuff.

We have painted the place white. Radical I know but much better, brighter and lighter.

The kitchen renovation was kicked in to action due to the imminent arrival of Caroline and Arend. We managed to get half done before Christmas and then we rested for the summer. You don't want to rush these things...

So just before Christmas we went from this


to this
