The kitchen before we started. Notice the annoying breakfast-bar thing that halves the size of the whole room.
Breakfast bar knocked out, cabinets being removed.
Cabinets fully removed and plumber fixing the hot water system (which we broke in trying to move ourselves!)
New tiles, one IKEA cabinet built and positioned. Notice the forty-year-old galvanised iron pipe in the wall.
Cabinets being assembled, pipe now cut short.
The shit that fell out of that forty-year-old pipe when we cut it off!
More cabinets assembled, now standing on legs and fixed to the wall.
All cabinets now fixed to wall. The cool metal things you see in the middle of the picture are actually rotating baskets - they pull out and you can store heaps of stuff in them.
New wall cabinets! My world record time in assembling one of these cabinets - 9 minutes.
Cool laminex benchtops!
New carpets! Sink and hotplates! Extra cabinet at front left!
New tiles! It's nearly done!
And finally, the completed kitchen and living room. Drum roll please.
Total cost (including plumbers' fees, sinks, hotplates and all the other stuff that didn't come from IKEA): ~$6000. Not bad considering the next door neighbours spent over $15,000 for a kitchen not bigger nor better!
Total time taken: 22 days (but we had about 4 days off in the process).
Total impressiveness: 5000 points plus the new ability to make girls 'drop trou' on entry.
Awesome!
