Kitchen No More




Our kitchen has now been removed by the builders, which was a teeny bit of a mistake, since we need more money from the bank in about three weeks time and the bank won't lend money on a house without a kitchen because a house without a kitchen is 'unmortgagable.' Note the attractive boarding up of that sixties serving hatch (I'll miss it in a funny 'Crossroads' sort of way).



So now we have to knock this kitchen down and install some sort of drains and a sink/draining board and cupboard, which apparently constitutes the minimum 'kitchen' which will allow us to obtain an advance on the mortgage. Our brickie's still got the sink, he says - so all's not lost. It's hard to picture how all of this is going to look except to say that the new kitchen is about four times bigger. And it doesn't have a serving hatch.
