I finally finished the flushing, scraping off any dags and a quick sanding in the little toilet.

I had bought a one litre can of primer but this quantity was woefully inadequate.

Subsequently I bought a 4 litre can and gave the cubicle two coats.

I'd give myself a 3 out of 5 for the job.

I managed to move the kitchen cabinets upstairs on my own - using the trolley with the pneumatic casters and towing with the car on one occasion.

Jim helped me carry up the counter top on Friday evening - very, very much appreciated.

By Saturday, midday I had everythig screwed together and tidied up.

The rest of the day went on tackling a number of little jobs I had been putting off for over a year.

The kitchen cabinets are getting a bit long in the tooth - probably 20 years old now.

We can't afford to buy any fancy new white goods - so we will just have to get by with the old stove from down stairs and no dishwasher at all.
