Work has progressed well on the kitchen.We have moved over on Thursday. Now nobody can find anything. It is taking a while to get used to.

The electrics is connected, but I have not finished the gib stopping or the painting thereof. That also implies that we haven't stuck the splashback tiles to the wall. The glass splashback at the windows works fine, but also needs painting. The cover where we cut the wall will still take a while.

We have Marike visiting for three weeks and this weekend Anneke and Roger flew up to visit. Happy family and full house. It will be the first use of the old kitchen as a bedroom.

Sorry, the work happening now does not justify putting up pictures.

We have finished the worktops and tiling on top of it. We started doing the edging for the tops. That is being done in Kwila, a very tough timber from East Timor. I have had it saved for a long time, and now we had the opportunity to use it. works lovely. That will hopefully be done in this week.

We also had another problem. The height  of the units is about 200 mm higher than the bottom of the windows. Just this last week we saw a program on TV where they have installed glass to act as a splash back. We are in the process of replicating that. For the remainder we have ordered white tiles, 100*300 mm. And then the painting of the part of one wall. That is  not doen yet.

We are making good progress, thanks to the help from Petrus. Without him it would have taken me  much longer.
