The end of the kitchen renovation is getting closer

After some more waiting for the kitchen tops to to arrive, they are finally here!
This time the problematic one fit like a glove.

The combined fridge/freezer is also in place, serving us ice cubes for the friday gin&tonic.

All the tools and junk has been removed from the dining area. Maybe some BBQ in the garden from all the wood-junk tomorrow?

The stove does not get to rest much now, today's food is some spiced up gravy with cous cous.

Lack of internet

We lost our internet connection for about three weeks at home for some (yet) unknown reason. I tried to upload some pictures using the mobile but it was not successful.

Which was first, the chicken or the egg? In our case it was the egg.
We have cooked using the new stove for the first time and there were no chickens in sight.

The kitchen looks pretty much like a kitchen now, most of the cabinet doors and drawers are in place. The last ones will have to wait till we have painted the walls.

A major setback was the kitchen top which was 4 mm too wide but a new one is on the way and will arrive this upcoming Friday.

From Köksrenovering

The enlarged door way has been primed and painted, as well as the walls

The coffe corner

The floor heating has also been connected, just waiting for the electricity to be connected and it will work a bit better I guess.
There has also been a major drawback, the countertop for the coffee corner did not fit. It was about 4 mm too wide. At the same time my phone broke down so I have not been able to continue the process with Ikea.

Small things

The floor was layed out and fixed up during the weekend, it looks quite nice when it is done I have to say.

The walls are pretty much done, some plaster and sanding left for them.

The quite meditative occupation of putting the cabinets together have started.

Some pictures of the current mess, just to sca... inform people what it might be like to do renovations. Which is often forgotten in all the home make over shows.
This is the combined shower and dish washing room.

Current kitchen, in the hall way. Nice with some sun, eh?

From Köksrenovering

Hallway with bricks, quite clean and nice at the time of the photo. It looked more like a saw mill before.

Hallway towards the kitchen, with things littered all over.

Kitchen table can be seen somewhere under all the other thingies.

Another brick in the wall

Dad has been working hard the last few days getting the walls and the wine stand up.

The wine stand is made from brick pipes.

A random bunch of updates

My day time work has started again, so the progress will slow down a bit.
The water pipe has been pressurized and no leaks were found. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

We have put up the wooden ceiling and painted it with foundation paint.
Parisa did a lovely job painting the little spots were twigs has been (no clue what they are called in English).

White foundation paint.

The bricks for the small wall that will be put up behind the counter and for the floor-to-ceiling-wall has arrived.

From Köksrenovering

The beginning of the extra wall, where the oven/microwave oven will be placed later on. We have found clay pipes which will form a built-in wine stand in the corner as well.

From Köksrenovering

The floor tiles has also arrived.

Water

The water pipes for the floor heating is now done, will just have to pressurize it to see if there are any leaks.

From Köksrenovering

The door post has also been moved.

We also had a first lunch in the new kitchen

A first nice setback aswell, we have to cut open a bit more of the entrance then I had calculated. Otherwise the fridge-door wont open.

Floor foundation

For the last couple of days we have managed to fix the floor foundation, electricity and water connections.
We started by taking down the wall between the kitchen and the dining room:
