kitchen: DIY stage 1

We have reached the part of the kitchen remodel where we have to do some of it ourselves.





So we rode our bikes to the local Home Base, bought some plaster and tools, and taught ourselves how to replaster the walls.





It's not perfect, but we're proud of our job. (Until the kitchen fitter returns later this week and tells us that it's not nearly as perfect as we think it is.)





We will seal the plaster with PVA adhesive later this week. Then we need to tile, paint, and do the finishing touches. We also still need to get the floor done.


If nothing else, we are very relieved that we did not mess up the pretty new countertops!
