Kitchen refurb - phase 1 - day 2

After a little bit more banging and crashing, and a LOT more dust, the interior block work is complete and the new window installed, glazed, and sealed. It was all over by lunchtime. Here's the result:

After clarification with the contractor it turns out we won't be plastered up until Friday. He claims he explained this when he told me work would start yesterday, but I have no recollection. Makes sense when you think about it though - everything has to dry out and become stable before it can be plastered.

We'll need a new row of tiles at the back of the sink too. The plaster there was in such bad shape the whole thing fell off while they were putting the window in. We'll grab a box of gash white tiles from B&Q to waterproof the area until the final refit is done.
