Sounds good sprint.  Maybe put two shelves and a door in your dishwasher space so that you can use as another cupboard until you get a dishwasher.



Yes, this is our idea, thanks.

We bought a new sink and mixer tap, got all the tiles ordered.
Got the new oven, cooktop, rangehood, sink, mixer tap and 1/3 the tiles onsite.

Sink is 308 grade stainless (a bit better than normal, most are 304 grade) and 0.9 mm thick, most are 0.8 mm.
Still sounds thin, doesn't it?  Has 2 largish tubs, 2 drainers.
Tap mixer is brushed Stainless. Looks chunky, matches well with sink.

I made a list of 21 improvements over the old kitchen.
have been screwing the ceiling back up even and gluing the cornice up as they have sagged.
Will do some small plastering soon, regluing, then paint the ceiling and walls before the new kitchen is installed .

Sensible to paint what I can while the old kitchen is still there. When I drip paint, no problem.

It's still ongoing. Install date of 12th Sept. Huge job.
Have got a list of the improvements in new kitchen over old one.
There are 25 improvements!



Realised all painting and repairs have to be done before new kitchen installed.
All ceiling and all walls.
So started to repair and paint the kitchen ceiling.
Some of it had sagged, some of the cornice had also sagged.
Had to brace the ceiling up up, screw it up with many screws.
Then brace up the cornice in 2 areas, glue up the cornice. Give that 2 + days to dry.
Plaster over holes in walls elsewhere and over the big screws in the ceiling.
Give that a few days to dry. Sand it all with random orbital sander.
Scrape ceiling back where some paint had flaked off, coat that with bondcrete, give that a few days to go off.

Put first coat of strained ceiling paint (was old can so strained it through a stocking) by hand by brush on cornices, plastered areas and areas where paint had been scraped off and bondcrete applied.
Much paint has dripped on old kitchen.
Old paint on cornice had yellowed with age.

Looks 100% better. Really pleased.
