We are so nearly there but man, I am so exhausted all of a sudden. It
has finally caught up with me. I've spent 2 days unpacking boxes
and putting stuff away. I've re-sorted the downstairs
rumpus/guest room and it is very nearly ready for the Broggi family
visit. Pete plumbed in the kitchen tap and dishwasher last night and
the electrician rigged up power to the dishwasher today. I've finally
got a working kitchen! I may just be too tired to actually cook in it
now. There seem to be a million little things that need to be finished
now. We are waiting on one more major thing; the stainless kitchen
bench for which the guy who was supposed to come measure up yesterday
still hasn't arrived today and the clock is ticking towards the
weekend. Half the paintings/pictures/posters are hung but some are
still sitting on the floor. Blinds need to go back up. Painting needs
to be finished once the bench arrives, the outdoor water gutter system
needs to be hooked up so we can start catching rainwater again and I've
yet to find an outdoor patio light that has any sort of decorative
style. It's just good ole kiwi practicality in that department. I
can't order the one I want from the States because it's the wrong
voltage! We will just have to bbq with our headlamps on I suppose. So
here's a look at where we stand now:
prints to be hung |
blinds to go back up |
electrician left for lunch with the lights half hung |
chairs to be repaired |
more prints to hang |
my favorite corner!! |
no stainless bench, no working plug |
massive double sink with dirty dishes in it...yuck! |
It is all coming together and looking great. :)
