Yes being without a kitchen is a bit of a pain - buut we are going to my brother and SIL's place for dinner in the evenings which makes it really easy.

I do have to be here during the day, but it has allowed more time for me to post on the forum  :D

As we are getting stone benchtops it will be about 2 weeks until we have a gas cooktop and an operational sink (I do have the sink - its currently in a box behind me  ;D)

It will be great when it's in.  I plan to have a TM demo when it's complete - I'll let you all know when if you are around come and have a look!

Thanks for the tip Gert - I'll try it and see how it goes  ;)

Not much happening today.  Tim the electrician has been here since lunch time putting in the copious number of power points that I MUST have in my kitchen (it does include the under cabinet lighting power).

The roof mounted flue for the range hood has been installed and I am now getting the opening between the kitchen and the lounge room square set.  Trevor the plasterer has just started so I'll let you know how long it takes later (its just after 3:30pm).

So no pic for today but I do have a couple from yesterday.   The first one is with lino and the second one without - I admit my legs are aching just a wee bit from lifting lino tiles last night - but it will all be worth it.

Cheers

Good grief how could I forget.........

Everything is going well except for the lack of heat. The heating system was checked but I didn't actually switch it on when e plumber left, he said it would be ok.  Anyway we were out so when we arrived home after 9 I went to turn on the heating to find a dead controller.  After checking the meter box, the system isolation switch etc... We have decided it is something I the roof and can't really be fixed tonight :). I love my hot water bottle. 

So I shall be calling the office early tomorrow to try and get that sorted :).

I'm still excited  8)

Late evening  update..... (I just looked at the time and wondered where the last hour went)

No pic tonight as I'm on the iPad and I take horrible pics with it.  I'll load one in the morning.

So we have a bare kitchen with now - no Lino!  The new flooring is going in next week so the Lino had to go, but it's not part of the kitchen  :)

I had the wonderful help of my SIL Ros along with my 2 nieces and my sister and her teenager  :D. We got the kitchen and more than half of the entry done.  Just the hallway to go ( and the carpet, but that's on Sunday)

Anyway I shall try and get a pic of Adrian the installer when he is here on Thursday. Tomorrow is a plasterer and sparky day - with a later start yay  :D

When finished my kitchen will be black bench top with white cabinets. I'm planning on a light blue glass splash back - I can't wait  :)

Cheers

Thanks ladies - I am having fun right now.  Spent about half an hour outside earlier while the concrete floor was cut to allow pwer to come to the island bench.

Very excited!

At the moment the room is bare except for a ladder, lots of dust and Adrian my kitchen installer  :D

Same here Snappy.  The butterfly does a great job at creaming the mixture.

I've made the new kitchen my busy project while I job search.  I'm having a great time.  It's been a very busy month getting the kitchen contents OUT of the kitchen and secreted in all parts of the house garage and on the pool table at my SIL's  :D

We have STUFF!!!!!!

Finally finished everything last night at about 11:30 - just the last minute things that needed to be cleared off the bench top and a quick wipe of the sink and benchtops.  It's the best it has ever looked  ;D

I have hopefully attached a pre-ripped out pic of the old soon to be forgotten kitchen.  The new kitchen has an island bench, new appliances and a composite stone benchtop.  It will be a couple of weeks until it happens, but it's all very exciting!
