Our cat Chelsea inspecting the concrete being laid...




Kitchen & windows coming out...







Kitchen , windows, door & wall gone......




New walls , windows & doors. All done in one day , the builders have been great , even cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day. The new doors are made of cedar & when I told the builder they were being painted white, the look on his face was of total shock, apparently he is in agreance with my husband "you cant paint cedar" . Now I know cedar is a lovely timber but I didnt order it to be made in cedar that is the timber they use & on the other side of this room beautiful french doors are going to be installed to step out to my french courtyard & garden. In my vision the doors have always going to be white. What to do ?? Mmmmm paint the cedar I say.........
Next on the list , tiles to come up that should be a messy job but we are able to block off the hallway from this room. Fingers crossed the dust dosent come through into the rest of the house.
The room is ready for final measure for the kitchen to be made. Now I was told it would be 2 weeks from this point. I could cope with no kitchen for 2 weeks, eating out regulary at our favourite Italian restaurant around the corner (Danys at Hope Island) . But was the kitchen installed in 2 weeks ???
