Project #46 - THE KITCHEN..

That time has come, we can no longer put off the kitchen. It has started...

 First unit off...


This pack of spaghetti was behind the unit (no idea how it go there), considering we moved in in 2011, i'm guessing it's been down there for at least 7 years?! Ha! 


 Temporary kitchen in the conservatory...

 Brown tiles are all gone...


 Orange floor is gone!

 New holes for new spots and wiring completed...

 Walls prepped for plastering...

Door frames stripped for new paint...
 
Holes from tiles & new wires for under cupboard lighting...
 
No tap...
 Temporary taps...
 Plastered!
 Part painted...

 Break for thai food...

 Second coat coming along...

Already a massive improvement! We will not miss those purple walls! :-)

Project #45 - Move Yasmin the Jasmine....

....16 months (ish) of not thriving under the shadow of THE BIG TREE in the swampy corner, we've moved Yasmin the Jasmine to the sunny fence. Fingers crossed the move wasn't too stressful and it picks up over the next few weeks.......to be continued....

 

Project #44 - almost finished

Well - they are in! :-) Just some cutting down of the pole & finding some appropriate ends after the curtain have settled!

A winter escape...

.. that was another great adventure...







Project #44 - the "BIG CURTAIN"...

... so after picking a fabric almost a year and a half ago, then balking at all and any price we got quoted, the third winter with drafty (and getting worst) doors has tipped the scales... these have arrived:

Project #43 - Winter front door draft...

Quick weekend project for a change, only one extra hole than required... and not *strictly* finished as it's not hemmed yet... but wanted to check that length was correct for daily use first...

After:




This could go...

.... one of two ways... :-)
