While the two guys were working outside yesterday I was making slow but steady progress in the kitchen. It was a bit slow because everything involved a certain amount of precision eg drilling expensive facades for handles by measurement alone, without templates, and assembling the facades for the two swing-out corner units. I didn’t want to make any mistakes and by the late afternoon all of the floor-mounted units were complete bar the finishing touches (little bits of trim on the hinges, stuff like that).<\/p>\n

I was really pleased as all of the openers have soft closing including the heavy swing-out corner units. The first one I did needed slamming and seemed to click shut and I thought that was how they worked. It was only when the second one wouldn’t close and I investigated why that I found it was because the soft close unit, which hadn’t been mentioned in the assembly instructions, was in the closed position. Merely flicking it open made it work perfectly, as did the other unit when I did the same with it. Oh for some detailed instructions!<\/p>\n

The next job is to mount the wall-mounted units. I need to know exactly how much they will have to be packed out at each end so at the end of the afternoon I placed them all in position on the worktop to get an accurate measurement.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to be too over-optimistic, but getting them all up onto the wall shouldn’t take too long. It’ll be great when they’re up because strictly between you and me, with all that storage space, running water in the kitchen and a working toilet I’ll run the electricity cable in through a window and move out of the caravan.<\/p>\n

I think that camping in the house will be much more amenable and considerably more comfortable, especially as yesterday I ordered a gorgeous inflatable double bed which will function as a superb spare once I’ve furnished the house and have a proper bed of my own \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
