After the cabinetry is delivered and installed, Peter notices that the sink is the wrong way round. When we go to put it right way round, we realise that the cut-out extends under the draining board, so it isn't just the sink that's wrong, but the hole below. And that means a complete new bench-top. After a bit of negotiation we agree to split the costs with the kitchen makers, as none of the drawings exchanged actually show which way round the sink goes. It might seem obvious to any woman that the draining board would run to the right of the sink, towards a corner, not to the left of the sink towards the cooktop, but it clearly wasn't obvious to the man who cut the hole in the bench-top. We are grateful that we have chosen laminex benchtops. A stone top with the wrong cut-out would have been a very expensive mistake.
On Tuesday Luke and Chris return to finish the skirtings around the cabinetry, and to put up the panels in the bathroom. They are nervous as the panelling a new material for them, but all goes smoothly.
