...Day One Hundred And Nine...

I now have photos of Project 5 on face book -- if you'd like to see our progress, check it out – www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=1225934715


Well the knobs are on the doors and drawers – the store has discontinued the ones that we really wanted so we had to compromise and buy others that are not as pretty but will do. Even though as is life, the screw length was too long and would have showed through the other side of the doors so Dave had to file each one down – there are twenty~two in total. So of course a ten minute job turned into a couple of hours – isn’t that always the way?? But it’s a job now done and having knobs certainly finishes the look.

He’s also cut and put up the worktop in the utility – so that also looks smart. We were going to buy those nice chrome legs for the cabinets in there but they were just too expensive so we’ve left the plastic ones on them – for now…

Dave’s now back in the garage planning and I suspect playing with the real pieces of oak– he just loves real wood – for the fireplace. A chunky piece is going across as a mantelshelf and the other piece is going at floor level to cover up the rough edge of the quarry tiles.

…It’s gonna look so good – I’ll never want to leave it…

ME ;0)
