EURON8 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 as you can see thebench ends there. We will be getting a nice pice of wood to make the rest of the bench level back to the all and then add in a couple of shelves up between the pantry and wall. Toaster etc will live down in there and things we dont use that often on the shelves. Not super ideal but we can deal with it for the price of the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickity Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Fridge is back where it's meant to be! Can now use the hallway door it was blocking! Keep going into the lounge to look in the fridge, but it's not there anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I know exactly what you mean - when I had the HWC issues and the fridge was in the lounge for a month while it was fixed and dried - I still kept going for the area where the fridge was when I needed something for a couple of weeks after it was returned to its usual spot... I can imagine the excitement to have it done is huge. Nothing can ever happen fast enough when you are that excited.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Random update. 85% functioning kitchen! Still has no water, so the dishwasher is still in the living room, and the butchers block hasn't yet been made for the rolling drawers. Still need to build the bench extension and shelving for beside the pantry. Other than that, its just the cosmetic stuff that needs doing! So much yay right now!!!!

craig_b Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i think you mean that floor looks perfect for drunken slippery slide antics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It came up ok. Needs a light sand and more varnish, the wood got its handee on and absorbed most of it, so it's not slide or glossy. The real triumph is the bench notch. Where we cut it back beside the cooktop so the pantry would fit its been refaced (by Chris' infinitely handy dad) with delaminated strips from the offcut. Aside from not being rolled like the rest of the bench you can't tell it's not the original state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Water! In the kitchen! Coming out of the tap! Like it's supposed to! Stephen came over last night and he 'n' Chris climbed around under the house, left all the doors open, let the dog and heat escape etc. The result was running water/drainage in the kitchen! Still no dishwasher - but this is only because the benchtop hasn't actually been secured to the cabinets yet, needs to be done before theres a dishwasher in the way... After this we had beef roast and watched Beauty and the Beast. As you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickity Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 This is what we were left with at the end of day one Today the rest came down (the waratahs with the rope around them are the approx markout of the new deck) Meanwhile - across the street Dunno what happened here, we didn't hear it over the chainsaws, but yeah, tree fell over...

danger Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Heck did you just straight cut through it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We took it down in bits and then chris cut straight through it while i pulled it away from the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The chainsaw was pretty blunt by the time we got to that stage (it'd cut up most of the rest of tree) despite having been sharpened a couple of days earlier. it didn't want to make wedge. So cut straight through, Ryan pulled on it with the strop and Chris pushed from the other side. It wasn't very big by that stage, so if wasn't going to hit anything that mattered if it fell wrong. Edit: Ryan said that in way fewer words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
