After our return from Tasmania, we have a week of early rising in anticipation of further action on the kitchen. When nothing happens and we've got to Wednesday, we contact Dave (kitchen) on who tells us that he has told Dave (builder) that the drawer and door fronts and side panels won't be coming until Friday. Dave (builder) has no recollection of this message, and so hasn't passed it on. Anyway we have one peaceful day on Thursday when we knew nothing was happening. On Friday the rest of the kitchen arrives and is fitted, and looks pretty good. We await the bins to go in the bin drawer, and some side rails for the deep pot drawers.
We now expect builders, plumbers and sparkies to come to fit appliances, hopefully starting Monday. Until we have sink connected, stove and dishwasher functioning and fridge in place, we are still camping in the middle room. I am decidedly 'over' this, especially as each week I tell myself that this is the last time I will crawl under the bench to get out into the lightwell to cook on the Weber. In the freezing cold. I'm hanging out for the stove, Peter for the dishwasher as he is sick of grovelling around in a bucket in the laundry sink in the bathroom.
Over the weekend we treat ourselves to a Karcher and use it to clean up the tiles. It's going to take several iterations to get them really clean, but they already look heaps better. Pictures to follow, preferably WITH appliances installed.
