What a week!!
We went to pick up the kitchen units we had stored with friends. All went well. Because of our small trailer, we had to do two trips. We stacked it all on the back veranda. Then Elna got concerned that we could get rain damage to the units. So I cleared all the tools and material from the kitchen to be, with the intention to store the units in a corner. Remember, we still have to install a new ceiling and stop and paint the walls. Well, we moved the units to their proposed position, just to see how it looks. It is nearly right, except for the position for the dishwasher, that is too narrow.
While we were at it, we went to see a kitchen joiner to find if he could help with some matching counter tops. We need more than we have got. Sorry, the line was discontinued years ago. The finish on the doors is Melteca, in wood grain, even that has been discontinued. We will let it simmer for a while, we might even paint it all white. Gloss white is the fashion of the day an I know a good spray painter.
On Saturday we were on our way to Hamilton to pick up another kitchen unit. We just got to Te Awamutu when the car packed up. Turns out a wrong CV joint has been fitted at some stage. Now we have no transport, and are trying to get the right part. Maybe Monday.
