DAY 75 - We have a kitchen!

Monday 29th October is a great day :)  We have kitchen, laundry, and bathroom vanities!  It's so exciting and we really like how it looks.  It's kind of a 'phew' moment when it 2" colour card look better when they're 2' doors.

There was one strong man and in 11 1/2 hours he achieved all this!  I don't know how he manages to hold the upper cabinets in place whilst he secures them.

So without further delay, here's some pics...

The kitchen!  
Licorice Linea natural lower cabinets and Pumice silk upper cabinets

The cupboard for the rangehood.  They made me a nice little shelf up top!

Microwave shelf - will be strange as we've always had it up high.

Sink cutout and drawers

One pot drawer has a cutlery tray in it which is removable but the dividers aren't

The last time my bench will be used for a drop saw!

Powder room in same cupboard colour as the lower kitchen cabinets. 
Obviously the drain pipe in the centre of the room will be cut at floor level :)

Laundry in the same cupboard colours as the kitchen. 
I love the rail over the trough and all the overheard cupboards.  Decisions, decisions... what shall I put in them :) 
There will be a bench right across with under bench appliances.

Bathroom

Ensuite

Door handles

 We're 99% happy with it.  Inside the ensuite vanity cupboards there's a board across the top.  One cupboard has a wider (sits lower) board than the other cupboard.  So we'll be asking them to fix that.  We think there may be a couple of scratches but we'll wait and see once the plastic coating comes off. 

And they've put in the cupboards next to the cooker back to front (they open the wrong way).  I'm going to sleep on that one and go again in the morning and may ask him to swap them over.  It's not a huge deal but I'd thought long and hard about which way to have them opening for what I plan to put in them and how the handles would flow across that area.  Hugely important, I know. 


Here are some other pics of work finished over the weekend.

A good look at the painted cladding...

And the window & door sils...

We find the small bricks around the doors weird.  But it seems that the bricks only have one good face and one good side so that's how they cut them.  I'm sure in time we won't even notice them.

The porch roof was also measured up this morning for the roofing materials and guttering, so that shouldn't be far off now.

Tomorrow the bench tops are to be measured up and by mid next week they will be installed.


123 days... it won't be that long.
