We have decided to do the kitchen tops with tiles. It is something we have used before with great success. We went shopping locally, but could not find anything to our taste, so we went to Hamilton. There we found 600*600 tiles to our liking. It is very expensive but in the end it will be cheaper than to do a timber top, and that would need constant maintenance. We will pick it up on Monday.
Meanwhile, I was forced to work in the garden as well, mowing lawns and trimming edges. It is looking better now and we hope, with the colder period coming, that it will not require so much work. We have received 26 mm of rain in the last week, on top of 16 mm the week before.
The kitchen had me stumped for a while. I was not happy with the remainder of the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, so I took it all down and rebuilt it. It is not finished yet, but we think we now know where we are going. I also have to line the kitchen side of the wall, which means we had to remove some of the units that has already been leveled and screwed together. We also got adjustable feet for the island unit, and fitted them. It makes adjustment so much easier.
I have not done any more work on the dining room floor. It has got two sides done about 900 mm wide for easy passage when we do the rest.
The first picture is from the inside of the kitchen, two weeks ago.
The last two are from the dining room, showing the cut wall. We are planning to use the left over timber to extend the partition horizontally.
