The finished tiling
Close up. Nice trim isn't it!?
This is the fridge happy in it's old location. We realised that we have NEVER cleaned inside the fridge (except wiping up spills) or behind it in the very nearly 5 years we have had it. We are ANIMALS! It was getting a bit too much so it was a relief to take it all apart and give it a good scrub. Hopefully in it's lovely new shiny location we can keep it this way
Before we started we carefully measured all the doors it was going to have to pass through. The fridge is a fraction under 70cm and the narrowest door 70cm. Hurrah! No problems!
However we hadn't taken in to account the door handles, we had just measured the body. Doh!
As there was NO WAY we were failing to get the fridge through once we got this far we decided to remove the door frame. As this turned out to be made of metal and concreted in to the floor we had to cut round it, so there is no way it is going back on. Sorry if you were planning on coming to stay - the spare room now has not door and is even more like a corridor in to the 'workshop' now.
The walls are made of kind of cardboard and plaster waffle, fortunately quite easy to cut.
Hurrah we got it in to it's new place. There is a set up of about 10 cm then down of about 25 cm into the 'workshop' from the rest of the house. It was quite challenging to get it over there as between us we could not lift it completely off the ground, just tilt it so one side of the other is off. We ended up tipping it on to its side and dragging it down a ramp made from some planks. There were points where it seemed we might both be crushed!
We have decided there is no way we are getting it back up the step again so it is just going to have to stay in here and we will have to get a second one in the real kitchen when eventually it is done.
The dishwasher has a filter on it's pipe which means we cannot get it fully back in to the space until Doug adds a 90 degree joint
This is a small induction hob that we are going to use while living here as there is no room for the gas cooker. At the moment everything is so clean and nice at the moment. We are really really hoping to keep it this way as the rest of the house is very neglected as we get depressed cleaning when it still looks a mess.
After successful moving we went for a walk around our land (well just in to the neighbours really)
