We've been distracted from the ongoing kitchen saga by a 2-day trip to Nottingham to sort out legal and logistical stuff following Mum's death (death certificate, notifying various authorities, meeting solicitor, arranging funeral, that kind of thing) as well as trying to sort out almost 60 years of "stuff" in her house. Yes, that's going to take more than 2 days, but at least we made a start. Not surprising that I've not felt much like blogging; just annoying that I'd only just picked up the metaphorical quill again before all this kicked off. Anyway, the funeral's Friday, so I thought I'd bang out a bit more kitchen-related news to pass the time.
When we left off, I mentioned there were two more demolition/deconstruction jobs to do before things began to get better. The first of these was the first-fix plumbing.
A couple of small items - disconnecting and removing a radiator from one end of the kitchen and plumbing in a supply for the new radiator in its new position behind the door; and sinking the main supply pipes to the boiler under the floor from their previous run which was behind the old cupboard, and in the new world would have been behind the cooker (not to mention in the way of coring out the wall to allow the tumble drier to vent).
The main thing though, was to resite the sink unit away from the wall to allow the plasterer space to plaster, while still allowing us a usable sink until the last possible day.

Looks a bit strange, but it serves its purpose. And our plasterer is a big guy. Needs a lot of room. I only wish we'd remembered to move the old cooker out before the plumber reconnected the sink. Doh!
