Kitchen 5: Kitchen Harder

Almost there!

The joiners spent the day here again, 8:30 - 4:30, getting the other side of the kitchen done, and everything ready for the electrician and plumber to wire it all up tomorrow.

They fitted pelmets and something-elses - wooden surroundy bits on the cupboards - got the kickboards cut to size, fitted the extractor fan above the cooker, moved the washing into the right place, and generally got everything done.

Tomorrow, all going well, we should have an actual, proper, real-life, honest-to-goodness kitchen.



Except for the plastering/tiling behind the sink/cooker, which looks like Godzilla dropped by for tea, and will require some work to finish off.



Oh, and clearly from that photo, the wooden surround for the window.
