We enjoyed a lovely Easter Sunday -thank you Julian for our eggs- and especially the proper Lindt bunny [not a Lidl copy] I don't think I have had one of those since I was a child!
Lots of drilling and sawing and glueing [and tea and laughter!]
The rebuilt cooker hood is in place, and works perfectly. No joists were harmed during this process! And Bob's rescued coffin trestles have proved very useful for supports for cutting things.
There's a world of difference between Lindt and Lidl...
ReplyDeleteLindt doesn't sell power tools!
ReplyDeleteLove the worktops. Excited for you. It's going to look great!x
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe worktops going in really start to make a kitchen look almost done don't they. Especially when the sink and hob are dropped into their 'holes'.
ReplyDeleteThat blue masking tape marks the "sinkhole" !!
ReplyDeleteIt's an exciting time. Making something yourselves which will be useful for as long as you live in this house! A win/win. You will be thanking yourselves for the effort put in when you enjoy making meals there! JanF
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Jan
DeleteI looked at the link about the coffin trestles and was amused at one of the photos showing a cardboard box labelled, "Vices, very heavy." Yes, our vices do tend to weigh us down!
ReplyDelete😃
DeleteThere will come a day when you wont even remember all this as you gaze at your perfect kitchen.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope so
DeleteI am so glad you had a nice Easter Sunday. You have a lovely blog 😊 Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. You have some great quotes on your new blog this weekend! 💙
DeleteSounds like it's all coming together very nicely. :)
ReplyDeleteSlowly, but it is all good
DeleteWe didn't have a Lindt bunny but we did have a Lindt egg or two.
