Last week 2 out of 3 of the kitchen sinks arrived. It was a long journey from the US! Hopefully, the third and final sink should arrive this week (although from the latest emails from the kitchen fitters, this is starting to look unlikely).
The sinks are Silestone Integrity and these are glued to the underneath of the Silestone work surface. The join is exceptionally neat and barely noticeable producing the effect that the work surfaces and sinks are all made out of one piece of granite. The sinks themselves are formed by casting a single block of Silestone and then milling out the shape of the sink.
With two of the sinks onsite we can fit the worktop and hob along the perimeter wall. This happened last Thursday and we managed to get the hob powered up on Saturday. So now we have a partially functioning kitchen. At least we don’t have to go outside to fill up the kettle now!
Two out of the three sinks have arrived, so only the island unit is now without a worksurface (other than cardboard!). Hopefully, the last sink will arrive this week and the kitchen can be completed.
These are two of the three sink bowls that we have been waiting for to arrive from the US. They were built into the worktops and installed last Thursday. Now we have hot and cold water in the kitchen. Yippee!
