Project 365 2015 Week 14

It’s been a week full of chaos and disruption. Yes, our kitchen works finally got properly underway!

Here’s our week in pictures…

Day 88 – Sunday 29th March – my younger son’s County Cup rugby competition. The rain, wind and mud were unbelievable. (There’s no filter on this picture, that’s what the weather genuinely looked like.) The result wasn’t what we’d hoped for, either!

Day 89 – Monday 30th March – finally! We’re onto daily work in the kitchen. There’s nothing at all left in the kitchen or dining room and today it was all about the electrics.

Day 90 – Tuesday 31st March – where does your big dining table go when your dining room has been emptied? In your lounge of course. Right in front of your telly. Having the kitchen done is so much fun! If I say ‘It’ll be worth it in the end’ enough times, I might start to believe it.

Day 91 – Wednesday 1st April – We have kitchen cupboards! Well, the start of them, anyway.

Day 92 – Thursday 2nd April – I found this cat sat in our skip! I have no idea who he is, but he sat there happily for a long time.

Day 93 – Friday 3rd April – the builder didn’t come today, so we had a peaceful day, albeit one surrounded by disruption. These are the wall cupboards that went in yesterday.

Day 94 – Saturday 4th April – today felt like a proper spring day, the tulips are out and nobody wants to see another picture of a dusty kitchen (least of all me!).

    1. Thanks very much! It definitely is the beginning of the end now – I reckon another week and we’ll be very nearly there!

    1. Thank you! Hopefully I’ll have pictures of something resembling a kitchen next week. Happy Easter to you, too.

  1. Glad your kitchen is taking shape at last….sort of! You’ll get there but feel your pain in the journey 🙁 Lovely tulips at the end there. X

    1. Thanks very much! It’s definitely making progress, but we’re at the most frustrating bit now, I think! x

  2. That cat is quite beautiful isn’t it? Hope the next week brings lots of changes in your kitchen. One day you’ll back and smile at all the temporary chaos. Well….maybe.

    1. Definitely! I can hardly remember the chaos of moving a house and moving into the temporary house, so I’m sure I will forget. I loved spotting the cat in the skip – so cute!

    1. Wow, that’s crazy! I don’t know how she could stand it! I think it’ll be a couple more weeks, but most of the work should be done in another week. x

  3. Your kitchen is coming along isn’t it. Having the table in the lounge will be a novelty for the kids I’m sure. Bet you’ll be glad when it’s back in its proper place though

    1. I will definitely be glad! Thanks. As you say, the kids aren’t bothered at all, they like the novelty!

  4. The rugby pic makes me shudder just looking at it. I think the cat must have liked your old carpets and hurrah to the kitchen coming on

    1. It is mad! We’d had a few bits done on previous weekends, so it seems to be moving quickly now, thank goodness! x

    1. We’re not! There’s a lot of microwave meals, plus some very simple pasta dishes on a miniature hob! It’s not a lot of fun and it’s hard work.

  5. Hope the cat does not get taken away with the skip, he seems content sat there.
    Oh dear at the upset caused by the kitchen make over, I hope it is all worth it.
    Love the vibrant red of the tulip and a great shadow behind it.

    1. Thanks very much! I was pleased with the shadow behind the tulip too. The stress of the kitchen will definitely be worth it, but it’s not a lot of fun at the moment! Funnily enough, the cat hasn’t been back, even though he looked so happy there!

  6. it will be worth it!!!! eventually. i bet the kids are enjoying having the dining table next to the TV!!!
    that flower is stunning isnt it? lovely colour. and what a cheeky cat sat i the skip ha ha x

    1. Oh yes, the kids are very happy with the dining table right next to the TV! I can’t bear it!

  7. Wow, your kitchen must have driven you mad with it all over the place, hopefully it’s nearly finished now? Urgh to the horrid weather during the match.

    Thansk for linking up to Project 365.

    1. Yep, it was well and truly driven me mad! Good progress this week this week, though, thank goodness!
