Ikea King!

We had a lovely Easter weekend at the house. It started by grouting the kitchen floor, and then getting on with other stuff while we tried not to walk on it!

For me that meant more glossing, for Craig it was fitting the reclaimed door which even with fitting a new lock etc looks so much better than the old one...although exactly the same style, so most people won't even notice!!

Only had a couple of hours on Saturday so we began the kitchen units. This was quite easy when we got into it, and we were knocking them together in about 15 mins each. Sunday we really got stuck in and began attaching them to the walls....then ran out of raw plugs.....no DIY shops open, so continued with some of the smaller niggly jobs again, glossing etc.

Monday.....we had a day off!!! This did mean a small trip to B&Q to get more raw plugs so Craig could continue first thing on Tuesday morning though!

Since then, he's been getting on OK, although we've had a to do a slight re-design again! Can't believe it after all the time we spent! Anyway, decided to buy another wall corner unit to match the other side, but it will mean the door won't completely open, as the cooker hood will stop it, but should mean the cupboard is accessible enough.

Starting to really take shape. I've been round again tonight and done some filling in the new door, and sanding it down ready for painting, and sanded some other woodwork ready for more glossing!

Craig is very proud of his new number too.....some little chrome digits.......i didn't put them on straight, but luckily, Craig spotted this and was able to save the day.....God forbid the slightly squiffy numbers may have put off potential buyers!! Sometimes, I just don't think I take development seriously enough :-)
