It's been a busy week. The electricians have been in each day, replacing the ancient (and in some cases, dangerous) wiring and doing rough-ins for new fixtures and new power hook-ups. The plumber dismantled the old sink area and relaid pipes in the new location. Habitat for Humanity finally showed up to haul away our old cabinets and countertops. And we had two new windows fitted, which are looking great.
Had an epic 4.5 hour meeting with our designer this morning, to go over the final drawings from the cabinetmaker. Also had to mark out on the ceiling where the potlights and different light fixtures are going, so the electricians can install the boxes for those this week. But we discovered that some fixtures just aren't going to work in the locations I wanted. It's amazing how many things you have to change at this stage, because you just can't envision them properly until you're actually standing in the new space.
On the cards for this week is plastering and drywalling, tearing out the old floor, stripping wallpaper, and picking a paint colour for the cabinetry. Because as we all know, there are a million different shades of white!
