It's a week and a half into my kitchen renovation, and as of yesterday, here is the space where the cabinets and sink and oven and hob will go. All those walls that you see there and the ceiling were ripped out and insulated and new walls and ceiling put in. Today the kitchen is being painted. In a week, the cabinets will be installed. At some point the electrician will come back and reconnect our phone. That drawer under the window is to stop our cat from trying to get into the hole into the floor where the sink waste pipe will go.
I'm currently set up in the lounge with a microwave, portable double hob and a snack oven. Washing up happens in a bucket in the bath. We have no power for downstairs as the wiring was so old and horrible, the electrician just disconnected that part of it, so I do the washing by putting an extension cord out the window during the day.
I'd be more stressed out over all of this if my youngest son's illness hadn't distracted me.
Apologies for lack of blogging and responding to comments on my part, it's just been too hard most days.
