Things are getting pretty serious now! Yesterday we spent a long hard day removing the sink, boiler and granite worktops. The necessary plumbing and electrics have been done, ready for the plasterer on Thursday. I am without a sink but the dishwasher remains.......I am hanging onto that until the last possible moment I can tell you!
Our pals Spud and Tony are here today building the units.... we'll just see how things go.
Remaining calm and collected - be it a tad tired I am just getting on with matters, knowing all will be so much better very soon.
Next post will feature the plastered walls.......
watch this space!

seriusly, your efforts are quite admirable, but it would make me depressed to live in the chaos wait - I just reatrranged stuff in the living room; it is in chaos!

I think it helps that there is just the 2 of us Roger - I can't believe the preparation we have done - all heavy dirty stuff too - things can only get better - I HOPE! lol!
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask, during all these changes, have you found things you thought lost forever? It always seems to happen with us.
ReplyDeleteShooting parrots - I lost the key to the patio doors a week or so ago. The very minute the new door was fitted I found the key! No job for it now! lol!
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how *lost* things turn up when you don't need them. I am referring to shooting parrot's comment.
ReplyDeleteNow I will have to visit her blog as that name has intrigued me.
Can't wait to see the final finishes (though as you know....... I liked your kitchen before!

Hi Maggie
ReplyDeleteIndeedy - I know you liked the original units but believe me after 20 years they have doe us proud and are being reused - the new units will be easier to keep clean and are more efficinet - you'll see I promise xxxxx
Cannot wait for more pictures of the super-slim you in the super-efficient new kitchen.
ReplyDeletewell done on the weight loss and decluttering!
big difference love your poetry always have--the picture was taken in the park a block from my house Whistler duck
ReplyDeleteGlad it is only the kitchen that is gutted and the walls that are plastered - thought it might be you after all that work.
ReplyDeleteOkay now...do you always feed the cat on the countertop?
ReplyDeleteAngela
ReplyDeleteOh as soon as there is any progress the photos will be posted!
ibeati
I just love that photo.
Weaver
lol - there is time yet wouldn't you agree?
Ethel
yes - we have to feed her on the countertop - she shares the home with 2 german shepherds - in the past they have eaten all her food so we feed her quickly and at least we know she is getting her fair share! lol!
How exciting, I love it when the plasterers come, although they are the messiest trade!
ReplyDeleteyes hanging on to the dishwasher is the antidote to madness x
I have lived through so many remodels... my x always had to fix up our home then sell them to move on to the next one.... got "old" really fast for me.
ReplyDeleteI love your new door and window. All will get better soon and just in time to get nice warm and snuggley for winter.
cheers, parsnip

Nanka
I guess not - but I am at the point now where the next real job I do is to fill my new kitchen! Now THAT will be good.
I know from experience it's quite traumatic having a kitchen completely refitted but it's so worth it. Can't wait to see yours when it's finally finished. :)
ReplyDeleteI've just moved house, so I know the agony of chaos... Hold on... this too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying watching this progression from afar!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to follow the progress!!
ReplyDeleteG is for...

ReplyDeleteGoing to be all worth it in the end though.

ReplyDeleteWhat a feeling of accomplishment when this project is finished.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, can't wait to see the final kitchen!
What is it they say? "It's always darkest before the dawn." Soon the sun will be shining brightly down on your newly refurbished kitchen!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along pretty good Denise!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the final result soon!
ReplyDeleteI remember living in such chaos for years while my parents were building their house. But it was worth it and so your chaos will be :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge job you've undertaken - it's going to be so beautiful when it's completed. You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so envious you get to redo your kitchen. Mine needs it too! Your kitty looks happy eating up there. And....what's cooking in the oven? Is it ready yet? :)
ReplyDeleteSerious is right. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'Out with the old' feeling but could not cope with the gutting all around.Will we not see stage 2 til P?
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what we can put up with when we can see the end in sight . . . keep smiling:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat it will be when everything has been replaced! Great shots of the process!
ReplyDeleteNow that we've seen the "before"...I can't wait so see the "after." I just hope we don't have to wait for the next "A" round!
ReplyDeleteWithout a sink! I would leave home and take the dogs with me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't envy you all the hassle, but just think of the end result.
