We (Petrus and me) finished all doors and managed to fit all. We have made all of the drawer ends but have not fitted it yet. I have planned on using the current oven unit in the new kitchen, but found the oven sits too close to the hob, too high. (To take all measurements I had to remove the hob and oven in the "old" kitchen to take measurements. and refit the whole lot)
In the end I have decided to make a new unit. I have made all the panels but have not screwed it together. You have to keep in mind that Petrus comes three days a week, for which I am very grateful. For the remainder I must do the best I can on my own. I have also bought the proper electrical fittings for the new installation.
Saturday was spent on mowing lawns. There used to be a small patch of Kikuyu when we moved in nearly three years ago. It is encouraging to see it spread and take over the weeds. I think it has spread for about 3 meters. Only Paspellum grass remains a problem, but for that we have weed killer. I wish I had the time to attend to the garden, but that is on the back burner for now.
We had a dry spell since December, some of the fine lwan grass has even died off in patches. We are thankful for 20 mm rain on Wednesday, and we have a forecast for about 40 more as the side effect of a cyclone coming our way.
