Kitchen Casualties #2

An update of the building work downstairs. At this stage I'm wondering whether we are really stupid or really brave. Things have been going fairly well so far - a part of the bedroom is still the kitchen and I swear at night I can taste the dust but there were not major mishaps (so far). So here's the evidence of the progress. I guess we will be finished in another two weeks' time.

 We had a bit of a packing party...

We acquired the right tools and materials. We also sealed off the first floor - this helps a lot with dust management.

There were extensive and creative site instructions...

There has also been a bit of demolition work - this is where our kitchen once was.

A new wall - changing the nature of the space and defining the new kitchen.

This is how we cook - we are literally using our camping gear at this stage. The work area is a folded ladder with the chopping block as a surface.

Another view of the "kitchen" in the bedroom.

Meet the electricians: July (Left) and Colin, his assistant. They worked a twelve-hour day yesterday. Respect.

Meet the builders - Whitey (far right) and his team. They will be on site for another week or so - until the finishes trades (tiling and painting) move in.

Hope this gives you more of an idea of what we've been up to this month.
