Kitchen Reno Update - Week Nine

Despite my absence these last two weeks, some work has continued on the kitchen - the photo diary has been updated accordingly. The window guys came back to finish their job, installing frames and sills inside and repairing the frames and siding outside. The electrician also returned, and installed all the potlights. We now have working lights in the kitchen, for the first time since mid-January. He also installed the new double oven (yay!) and started putting in the two ceiling pendant lights.

This coming week is going to be pivotal. Crucially, our quartz countertops are being installed tomorrow (it took three weeks to fabricate them). Once the counters are in, the last of the work can proceed. I hope we'll have the plumber in on Tuesday, to install and connect the sink, tap and dishwasher. Then the electricians can return to finish their work, wiring in the dishwasher and cooktop and finishing the pendants and undercabinet lighting.

With a little luck, by next weekend I may have a functioning kitchen that I can move back into, and in which I can start cooking!
