The Ultimate Kitchen

Think about it for a moment. What would the ideal kitchen look like? Some important factors were taken into consideration with our new home for the ‘Chef of the House’.

Nigel’s, ‘Kitchen Sensei Master’ Dennis was also on the job arriving Saturday morning and flying home...

Totally Plastered

I went down to the house today to see how the brickwork had gone. Danny Waters came with me to have a look at putting in some cabling. We were both surprised that the house was plastered… well the gib rock walls were put up right the way through.     It was amazing to see what has happened in just ONE...
