. . . but it was a close call.
Sam came on Tuesday and put on handles, the bulkheads and other stuff. We are just one handle short - the kit came without all the pieces. The other problem is that one of the drawers under the cooktop is not fitting properly and sticks out about 5 cm so Sam will have to come back and fix that.
This morning Adam the electrician came. He had to rootle around under the house to get the dishwasher connected up. Had a horrid ten minutes or so after he went under the house first - he couldn't get under there. Had visions of having to remodel the whole kitchen! Armed with a torch, however, Adam went back in and under and found a way round what initially appeared to be a brick wall going the length of the house. Dishwasher connected and has done one wash successfully.
Next problem was one of the fans in the wall oven. It was rattling around quite noisily. Adam had the oven out of the wall and the lid off it trying to fix it but it still rattled and I thought at least one day of the upcoming long summer holiday was going to be spent waiting for an Electrolux person to see to it. However, by the time Ian came home and I put the fan on for Ian to hear the problem, it was gone - in fact the oven fans are so quiet I had to open the oven door to check they were on at all.
So! The slideshow has been updated and you can look at it here.
