After some discussion, Elna admitted that she really preferred the White Melamine. So the decision was made to go for white. Barry/Barco offered to trim the edge tape that I have to put on the edges, I am too shaky to trim it properly. This week was spent on cutting up the boards to nearly the right size. After that I cut the edges accurately with the router. I have not gotten very far yet, maybe the coming week will show more progress.
We also started positioning the units against the walls. That works fine, we will only have a filler of about 50 mm on one side. The next problem is that I will have to move a unit that we have in the old kitchen over, and it is full of pots and pans! That will become a centre cabinet. We have not yet started thinking about the counter tops, maybe Rimu.
I think I have mentioned long ago that we fitted vinyl on the floor. When Ben was here, he gave it one look and told me that he thinks we should remove the vinyl and clean the floor and varnish it. I appreciate his advice and started removing the vinyl, but could not yet get myself so far as to tackle the floor It will take a lot of sanding and scraping. I must say it will be easier to do while I can still move the units around. That is a problem for another day, Let's first get the doors sorted.
