Friday
Today we had a houseful of workmen; kitchen fitter, working surface fitters, electrician and plumber. At one stage there were five people working in our confined kitchen space.
Everything was coming together just after lunch at about the time I was due to go out to go for a hair appointment. Mr C was ensconced in [...]

New Kitchen 2 – Day Nine
Thursday
Today saw subtle changes to the kitchen with the plinths above and below the cabinets being fitted. There was additional work on the under-sink plumbing which is still looking neat and tidy.
Tomorrow the working surface should arrive which will allow the hob and sink to be fitted. Then all that is needed is fine tuning [...]

New Kitchen 2 – Day Seven
Tuesday
Our kitchen fitter experiencing none of the previous day’s travel dramas arrived on time. Shortly afterwards the tiler arrived.
Later in the morning I drove to Attingham Park for my usual Tuesday volunteering at Visitor Reception. The day was lovely and warm compared to the previous Tuesday afternoon and also the flooding had subsided. This led [...]

The kitchen is now begining to look more like a kitchen again. We called in briefly to see mum after the fitter had left, she had been in bed all day and although she was pleased to see us she told us to leave.
We dined in the Vineyard Cantonese Restaurant for the first time since [...]

New Kitchen 2 – Day Three
Wednesday
Our kitchen fitter had a personal commitment in the morning which meant we could return to our normal routine rather than getting up earlier than usual.
Our fitter arrived at lunchtime, complete with a substitute light to work by due to our currently non-working ceiling light. He worked through into the early evening which meant I [...]
