We got the sink installed at the weekend & I treated the counter tops to seal them... so the kitchen is finally fairly useable. It's still a long way from being finished as there's lots of jobs left to do but at least I was able to unload all the boxes into the cupboards and have actually got a sink at last (no more running to the bathroom to fill the kettle).
It looks pretty great actually.
Oh and I bought a fridge online - it's very difficult to buy a big stainless steel fridge with an ice and water machine which is less than 36 inches wide. I have 34.5 inches to play with but I finally tracked one down, and naturally it ended up costing more than we wanted to pay. I also bought an oven which arrives on Wednesday. And a plate rack which arrives god knows when as I ordered it from the UK (you cannot get one here that isn't hideous or impractical)!.
I'll be extremely glad when this is all over though - it totally takes over your life and you end up with no free time at all. It'll be nice to have some family time again! That's before we move on to doing both upstairs bathrooms... gah.
