We finally have a kitchen top!! Hooray! And the plumber even came round and hooked up the dishwasher AND the sink. How nice is it not to have to do the dishes in the bathroom!? And Im loving the look of the new smeg appliances, cant wait for the cook top to be hooked up. We've been getting stuck into the painting this weekend, and despite a major drama at one point when the enamal paint spilt all over the new bench and dishwasher, its all ok, and all coming together now.

The new flooring has gone down today which should make a huge difference. Most of the plastering work is done, just a bit to finish off. Now we're just waiting for our kitchen bench top to be fitted, probably next week.
