Every renovation gets worse before it gets better right? We're definitely at the worse stage. There's plaster missing, half built cabinets stacked up, tools littering the floor. But there is also lots of progress. The wiring is where it needs to be, the frames for the cabinets have been built and most of the cabinets are together.

| Come on in ... that's right, we have a door ... kind of. |
 |
| The old tile backsplash wouldn't come off neatly ... so the plaster had to come out with it |
 |
| The frames that the cabinets will sit on ... and a couple of cabinets in situ |
Rather than use the legs that came with the Ikea cabinets we decided to build 30mm MDF bases for them to sit on. It'll make things more stable, add some strength and help hold up the hugely heavy stone benchtop that will go on the island bench.

| A close up of the chaos that will eventually become the oven and cooktop |
 |
| This is where the fridge and walk in pantry will be. That's the pantry walls there on the floor. Oh, and we'll plaster over that sliding door of course. |
 |
| Looking at the dining area ... yes, we're eating in the lounge room for the duration. |
 |
| Order will emerge from the chaos ... eventually! |
Most of our preparation work is done. Handsome Handy Hubby has the plumbing to move as we are relocating both the sink and dishwasher. The plasterer will be here to set the walls on Friday which should mean I can paint on Saturday and we can place all the cabinets on Friday. The appliances arrive on Friday (hmmm, where on earth am I going to fit them!) and the stone bench top (a drama for another post) will be measured up once that's all done.
Deep breath ... carry on!
