Flat pack marathon, stage 2

Today's major project is the TV cabinet. But we begin by unpacking and installing the washing machine, to get it out of the way. This takes a bit of time as we have to cut a hole through the laundry bench for the power cord, as well as attaching input and output hoses to the appropriate plumbing.
The dryer remains unresolved, still to be hung on the wall, because we are still waiting for a piece to arrive by post.
By lunchtime we have installed the washer, assembled the two drawers for the TV cabinet, and started on the main frame.
Work in progress on the TV cabinet, dryer in background. 
By the end of the afternoon we have completed the TV cabinet. We decorate it with two lamps that were surplus to requirements for Peter's daughter Barb and husband Scott when they moved into their new pad last year, and a rather nice blue vase that Helen found on-line.

Finished product, completed by the two lamps and vase.
Then we assemble the two additional chairs from Fantastic Furniture, and also unpack our microwave/steam/convection oven and work out exactly where it will be placed in the kitchen.
Two more chairs, being used for a much-needed cuppa. New gateleg table is half extended.
