We finally got some basic necessities in the kitchen, notably running water. Here's the sequence of events over the past couple of weeks:
We get plumbers to run water and drainage lines into the kitchen floor, in the place where the sink is going to be in the peninsula.
We manage to built the sink cabinet and drill holes in sort of the right places, enough to lower the cabinet over the pipes (notice the addition of another cabinet to the left and the dishwasher in place on the right).
We set the sink on the cabinet. Isn't it so pretty and sparkly?
Adam shows off his plumbing skills...complete with a few expletives when it doesn't all fit exactly the first time. Eventually it all fits beautifully.
Adam connects the faucet, and presto! Running water! With only minimal leaks.
With cabinet doors and drawer fronts added...
Nice huh? It'll be nicer when we have handles to actually open the doors and drawers.
Elsewhere:
Cabinets constructed and placed on either side of the stove.
With doors and drawers!
The wall cabinets have been installed, but the doors either (a) require some complicated installation, which we've been procrastinating, or (b) are on backorder. But at least we can start bringing our glasses and dishes into the kitchen from the dining room!
Remember that tall pantry cabinet that fit so perfectly behind the refrigerator? Well, you probably don't unless you've been paying very close attention. Either way, we got the drawers installed and the doors put on. It looks so tiny in this photo, but here:
These drawers pull out and it's actually quite deep. A handy use of a tight space if we do say so ourselves!
