All of the kitchen units have been installed this week.  This includes the units that make up the island unit.  All of the electrics are in place as is the plumbing.

Once all the units were in place, it was a case of cutting templates for the granite worktops.  The templates are cut out of hardboard and marked up with the relevant details.

Next week the worktops will be made using the templates.  They will then be installed the following week – along with all of the appliances.

The appliances will be installed when the rest of the kitchen is finished off. The island unit has been wrapped up to protect it over the next week or two before the installation is finished.

All of the kitchen cupboards have been installed this week.  We now have a week's break while the granite worktops are being made before the kitchen is finished off.

Notes to the guys manufacturing the worktop are made on the hardboard templates.
