So, here's the state of the kitchen today. The walls look dark because the plaster hasn't dried yet. You can see the new boiler on the wall and the new hob (stove) - also the old cooker is still there because the oven isn't connected yet, so he doesn't want to leave us without an oven, bless him. . The washing machine is pulled out because he's still working on the electrical outlets in that end of the kitchen, but it will go where it is, just pushed all the way back. You can see the drier in place, too, to the right of the sink. Progress...
