Progress.......

the kitchen  is progressing well but now at a stand still waiting for the bench tops...........we can't put the top cupboards up as we have huge tiles for the splash back which will fit perfectly.......so 2 little jobs tomorrow morning and it will be sitting waiting...........nothing will be happening next week to many other things on and no bench top.........
so onto the dining room which needed a new ceiling..........
thankfully no mice nests or dead mice up there just years and years of super fine soil.........
It was the most filthy stuff - so fine it powered up everywhere..........
I got home and I was sooooooo dirty..........
I don't like being "Wendy" (Bob the Builder's helper)
tomorrow is setting plaster etc...........maybe one coat of paint.........the walls will be painted too.........
I've avoided a few days of work due to town work thankfully...........
BUT stuffed if I will ever go on one of those renovation shows...........
geeze they must have some helpers..........
a new walking companion (if he stops walking under my feet).......
the poddy lambs didn't stick with me very long......
Boy Wonders new dog pup.........
ok busted..........maybe a little time to stitch..........

Oops Wendy, someone might need to tell Bob that that ceiling needs some insulation....definitely not a job that you want to put your hand up for! Hope DH finds a building buddy soon and you get more stitching done!

The kitchen is looking great and it is a lot of work you are doing but sew worth it in the end.
Hmm! Like you I won't go on The Block either but they do have LOTS of helpers.....

Lovely big kitchen. How brave to build a new kitchen. We have a very very small kitchen, and it really needs a replacement. But we both hate DIY, so I think it really has to fall apart before we will start. Hope you will enjoy your new ktichen. Caro

It's going to be great Chooky, the dust would drive me mad too, but it'll be worth it in the end...
Cute puppy..

Good to see the kitchen making progress. The ceiling looks like fun - not! I can just imagine you with the pup under your feet. Would be funny to see.
