What would the ideal kitchen look like? Some important factors were taken into consideration with our new for the ‘Chef of the ’. The other thing we assessed was how to avoid dishes and came up with the ideal solution, ‘no sink’!

P1010601Thanks to my brother Nigel, who drove 11hrs up from Sydney on Friday, then did a full day 5:30am till 11pm on Saturday to see our kitchen installed, then drove back to Sydney on Sunday. Nigel’s, ‘Kitchen Sensei Master’ Dennis was also on the job arriving Saturday morning and flying home Sunday morning.

Dennis was the ‘guiding light’ making sure we didn’t put the drawers in upside down and stuff like that. Man, both of these guys worked hard. They made me realise there are more muscles in the body than the ones user to drive a keyboard or direct a wireless mouse.

There are more pictures and videos at the picasaweb site and we’re sure you will get an idea after checking them out.

Oh, and BTW – we will have the new kitchen sink installed later this week. We’re looking forward to doing the dishes soon :-)

Danny Waters came with me to have a look at putting in some cabling. We were both surprised that the 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 day.

The plumbers were hard at work making us water wise and using the connections to the water tank etc. The is looking great and it was encouraging to see how the room sizes are working out from the plan to reality.

 

 

Feel free to take a walk through the house. Sorry we haven’t tidied up before you came :-)
