Kitchen treats ...

I had hoped to get you some views of the house without the external scaffolding - that will have to wait another week. All the exterior plastering is complete with a beautiful job being done by the tradesmen. It just needs the painted coating on to it before we can remove the scaffolding. Tomorrow the gutters and downpipes are installed and over the weekend the stoppers will be in the garage and laundry tidying that up ready for painting.

Early this week the kitchen was delivered from Germany and it is about halfway assembled. These pictures were taken as the benchtops were measured this morning by Ross and Reg and patterned for the granite to be cut. Andrew who is doing the kitchen installation will be back next week to complete the cupboard units. The Germans are impeccable in the quality of the kitchen but how the guys know what to do I do not know. All the labels and data is in German - no English at all. It will take about two/three weeks before the granite is ready and then it will start to look like a house. We have lights in the kitchen working off a temporary circuit and most of the top level is complete except for the floor areas and a couple of walls. Tiling should start in the upstairs bathroom by the end of next week.

Stay tuned!
