The kitchen had been delivered on the previous Friday with Stu and I spending most of the day taking everything out of its packaging, putting together a few units that had come in pieces and getting most of the base units into their positions. The packaging ended up filling half the skip!  On the Monday we levelled all the base units up, so on the Tuesday I hung the wall units while Stu plumbed in a new radiator.  We also got the first piece of work top into place.

Wednesday we got the second piece of work top cut and into place and then joined it up to the other piece, and then Stu got the sink plumbed in.  While I put all the handles onto the doors and fixed the doors to the units, Stu cut the plinth and pelmet pieces to size and fixed them into position.  By the end of the day the kitchen was pretty much finished.

Thursday I made a start on the tiling while Stu set about fixing all the skirting and architrave into place on all the new stud work and joining it up to the existing.  On Friday I continued to tile up to lunch time, and then I worked through our final snagging list.  Stu’s job was to hang the two, part glazed oak doors.  Bearing in mind the cost of these doors, they weren’t cheap; Stu took his time and did a thorough job.  We couldn’t afford any mistakes at those prices.  Unfortunately we will have to pop back on the Monday afternoon so I can grout the tiles and Stu can fix the door handles. After our two week schedule, we over ran by just one afternoon.  But then again, we did lose a morning to the electricians, so taking that into account we would have finished the job once again to time and schedule.  Can’t be bad!
