Got started on the last of the interior finishing after the hols, had ten days before I went back to work (ended up wasting most of it) got a fair bit done amongst other things. Continued the ply theme on in the kitchen as by now the bench top is no longer temporary (hah) 

It got a couple of pics of the kitchen, but suffice to say it took a bit longer than I originally thought. I guess that's how it is with bespoke shit that you don't originally plan for. 

 

Was I big help having my bro in law there, he does a lot of shop installs so knows the tricks.

I set the fridge cavity up for newer taller dimensions, it's a snug fit with this one and have to stick it out slightly to open the door, didn't really think about the door opening.. Hopefully modern fridge have zero open doors. Worst comes to worst I can delete the piece of ply between the fridge and the cupboard for extra room. This is all just mocked up, still have to dismantle the whole thing to sand and epoxy it all

Once we got that sorted we moved on to the laundry/skullery. Again I hadn't made any provisions for any cabinetry as at the time I was just rushing to get the house complied. Had to move the plumbing from down where the super tub had been to up where the mixer would be. Also had to move a power point up onto the bench that ended up behind the draws. 

 

Before, can see the offending plumbing and left hand power point.

Also in typical fashion there was power running straight where I needed to put the wing backs, shit like this soaks up a lot of time.

Power was easy enough.

Sink hole,

Also had to remove an offending under floor vent. Had originally kept most of them with the thought that they could be good for cool air in the summer. Not this one tho as we decided to put a cabinet there and it stuck half way out.

Late night epoxy..

Had to sand back the main parts of the bench so I could glue them sand the joins and have a seamless epoxy topcoat. Also had to rout a biscuit slot as the only way I can put them to together is to slide them in..

Love having a table saw.. Can just cut up any size or thickness I want.

Think I have the same sink here. Great size but takes ages to fill lol.

The trap I put together with a smear of sealant either side of the gasket as the one in my old house was a prick for the tiniest leak.

Nice work Thomas. Coming along nicely indeed

Siliconed the sink in last week end

Bit of weight,

Came up good.

Then installed the hospital taps I scored but left under the house to corrode for three years before realising. Came up good with a bit of foil and vinegar considering.. 

The plumbers tape is only temporary, will use hemp on it when I do it proper.

Nice to be able to wash my whole arm without having to use the shower.

Shit, that time went quick.. 

 

Pulled the kitchen to bits 

IMG_20210228_115747_copy_2052x2736.thumb.jpg.70b53166b9fca179f6a8bf99097e9be3.jpg

 

Took longer to epoxy than the laundry as there were so many little bits and double sides.. 

IMG_20210307_143953_copy_2736x2052.thumb.jpg.13a3e039a0d9dcb9fc53ac20ac71d1be.jpg

 

Reassembled only to find......

Somewhere along the line we managed to get it out of alignment with the rest of the bench.. My ocd couldn't handle it and I had to pull it all out again to realign it, would've killed me if I didn't.
