New kitchen cabinets

Firstly the outside weatherboards needed replacing, then old windows replaced by louvres. All walls and ceilings were lined with new plasterboard. My floors were polished the week previously - the lounge, kitchen and third bedroom.

Two days ago my new kitchen cabinets went in after 6 weeks without a kitchen at all..... Unfortunately the electrician had not been so still no lights, fan, stove etc - only one lonely power point.

The pantry, fridge space, broom cupboard and washing machine space.


Laundry basin, dishwasher etc.



The free standing stove and oven, and rangehood yet to be installed.



Exit to the lounge room.



The front loading washing machine and dryer space.



Hopefully (cross my fingers) that all the electrical work and stove will be installed tomorrow. Then I have to decide on what splashback to go for - tile / stainless steel / glass....

21 to go

Well $4320 later and I have 22 new concrete and 2 steel stumps - and those 3 lounge room windows open better than ever!!!

There is still the front 21 stumps to go - will be fantastic to have the veranda level instead of the disaster it is now.

Steve from Kitchen Works phoned - quoted me for a laminex kitchen and laundry cabinets (inc kitchen sink and lever tap) $7940. A vanity unit from wall to wall (ie 2.1m) for $1330 (no basins). At least I have some figures to work on now.

Tomorrow, a guy from GJames Glass and Aluminium is quoting on replacement windows for the laundry/kitchen and the shower screen. Also a builder is quoting on raising the lintel in the wall between the kitchen/laundry area.
