The new kitchen

Christ my cctv has been hacked!
Lathe, milling machine, sander, planer, piano, band saw, hi spec hi-fi, underfloor heating, solid oak floors, granite worktops, granite hearth, and now a cctv system. What next? Two Ferrari's on the drive and a Porsche project in the barn????

Close but....no underfloor heating sadly. And actually I don't do the whole cctv malarkey either. If you'd been paying ATTENTION and taking proper notes you'll know that we no longer have granite work surfaces we have a mixture of chipboard and plywood until the wood surfaces turn up. I like old cars but the ones I go for are always English motors hence s driveway full of oil stains.

Give over, you've got a secret dungeon that'd make jako jealous and I reckon you've got a holodeck to. (e type to cliche, triumphs?)
 

Have you got these items for your kitchen yet? You absolutely need them. GOT can take up a collection to buy you them

These are the type of kitchen utensils that you buy, put in a cupboard and never see again ?‍♂️
 
Suffering today ... either from the covid booster yesterday, or the 4 pints and 2 large whiskies last night. Decided to take it easy and clean up the workshop ready for the next stages. The new skirting board is sat on the floor, in the way, so obviously I fitted that too. Well ... cut to size and handed it to the female to paint it.

She helped by mounting some cabinet doors. I asked her not to. They don't shut. I'll have to fill the screw holes and start again.

Hung the extractor hood. I figure if I go out through the ceiling into the eves I can fabricate an outlet cowl to replace a tile in the roof. Or just create a leak.

Routed some wire through coving for the extractor hood. Left her to fit plug and socket either end.... when we met she was my lab technician so I know she can do this with aplomb. I'm not turning the hood on first though. Could be a trap.

I love the water from a tuna can... I'd drink it as consomme

how times change huh...
 

Today I have largely been fitting the kitchen worktop - an oak block affair that the female spent a small fortune on.

I've also been trying marquetry for the first time - to repair the rip mark made by my skill saw when I did a plunge cut that went wrong. Will she notice?

Lucky really. Could have been far worse than @tommye 's skill saw related injury since the saw kicked back at the level of my man veg.

We are getting our (almost) entire house renovated. Wife phoned me yesterday to say the ceiling had fell through in the living room and almost hit the builders and it was laughing plaster. As you can guess the ceiling is lath and plaster. Wouldn't have been funny for that to collapse on your head.
