Day 4 of kitchen renovations begins with the arrival of the plumber . . . on time(!). Turns out that the water for the clothes washer and the dishwasher needs to come from the valve for the hot water tank. It's a good thing that the granite was not laid on the one counter yesterday because the granite man will need to cut a notch for the new hose. The silver lining for yesterday's problems is revealed.
7:30PM UPDATE: The plumber's name is Barakat (Blessings). Thankfully, it is not nougat (leaks) -- blessings are more sweet. Barakat arrived at 9:30am and left 10 hours later. What a day! In the end, the new sink, washing machine and new dishwater are installed. Tomorrow I will clean and put everything to the test. No nougat, insha'Allah.
We must wait for the final countertop before shouting, "HURRAY! DONE!" But I am already cheering.
Cat was happy as soon as she found a new perch from which she can watch all the action.
While the men worked, I enjoyed the sunset from our balcony. The colours seemed particularly saturated this evening.
You'll have to post before and after photos when it's all done. Having been through a kitchen reno I feel you pain (but mine last well over a year). It's looking really good though.
