‘New’ Kitchen

How do you like our new kitchen? We saved money by using the materials from the 20 year old original and just shifted it a few meters. I forgot to mention this approach to Rozita who was a little surprised that she wasn’t getting something a little more contemporary. We’ve since had a discussion and agreed to compromise on throwing it all in the bin. She is working with the kitchen suppliers…

We’ve also got a new laundry. Again, I instructed the builders to take a similar approach and it met with a similar compromise…

After a bit of a battle with the builders over all our stuff being in the way we finally managed to remove most of it last weekend. With the temporary kitchen, operational washing machine, limited furniture and restricted electricity and lighting, we’re camping quite nicely. I think we’ll be like this for another 10 days until the walls and ceilings are finished and painted. Then we’ll get the electricity and lights back. After they sand/polish the floors we’ll be able to introduce furniture back. Plus we’ll have a new bathroom by then. We won’t have a proper kitchen or laundry for a couple of months though.

Oh and by the way there’s a dead possum somewhere under our floor. It smells really terrible and we’ve had 100s of those special dead animal flies buzzing around.
