I have a kitchen sink!

The weekend saw us working around the home. We were fortunate to have hubby's son to help with the top part of the front wall. There was no way i was going to stand on the makeshift scaffold and hold the iron or a window! So now the wall is all blue with 2 lovely windows and looking very nice if i do say so myself ;) It's not completely finished. We have to replace some iron in the middle with 1 full length so there are no joins, easy to do. The corners need the cream flashing or whatever it is called put on. I need to wash the windows and the iron and a couple of planter boxes will look nice too. Hubby built a new meter box, smaller and in cream iron to fit with the colour scheme. He is clever, just don't tell him i said so ;P

The next project was a kitchen sink. I've been using a bucket and kettle on the table for the past 3 months. Even longer if you include the time we were living on my parents property lol. Anyways, hubby used recycled timber to build a cupboard. The sink is brand spanking new. It was going to be installed in the bus but it's too big for the area and because I'm fussy, it's back to front, as in the drainer is on the wrong side, so it wasn't going to work at all in the bus. It's yet to have a tap. We did have a 2nd hand mixer tap but it doesn't turn off so a new one is being looked for. There is no hot water over the sink yet so the makeshift tap will work well for a few more months. The oven and cook top are set up properly and work great. As much as i enjoyed having the oven on the bench, it looks much better below. The whole cupboard is temporary. We need to replace the wall in the distant future and we would like an old retro cupboard that we can convert for the sink and oven. As everything it serves it's purpose well. I'm just happy to have a working sink :)

Until next time.
