Our New Kitchen

We are doing our kitchen up.

As of Wednesday 3 Febraury, 2010, most of the preparatory work has been done.

The old kitchen has been ripped out, the ceiling replaced and replastered, and the drains moved.

Over the next few days, things will start to change.

The next steps are:
  • doors in
  • decorated
  • floor down
  • new kitchen units fitted.
Friday 5 February
Been a long hard day. The brick work was cut out for the door - and all the rubble and plasterboard was loaded in to the skip and taken away. (The plasterboard is recycled in to cement - apparently). But then we had a real trouble getting the door fitted and, although we go it in, at 8.00pm we called it a day (or a night really) without it being finished.

See some of the photo's below:

    How the kitchen used to look:

    Clearing ready for demolition
     Units cleared

    Ceiling ripped down


    Making good the walls

    New drain being layed


    New stop tap - this needed moving so we could put the doors in

    Pipes ready to fit new radiator to - the kitchen will be warm at last!

    New water supply pipes














    The drain - all installed now













    Starting to remove the block work ready for the door













    Hilary starts demolishing the back wall!













    Our first ever skip













    French doors - in at last.


    I know it is not that exciting - but the electrics are almost finished


    Plastering around the French Doors

    Lighting installed in kitchen

















    At the end of the fourth week (of a two week project!) Units are now in. Just finishing off now.
