Almost there, I think.

So a funny thing happened shortly after we finished lining the ceiling. I can remember fitting those large sheets of plasterboard, covering up the batts and the wiring, thinking to myself, "well I hope I never need to access those again", and a few weeks later I found out that the cable is defective and is being recalled. Which means it needs to be replaced. OK so the timing wasn't great but it could've been worse, as in we could have moved in already and now we're looking at cutting holes in the ceiling or even pulling it all down and starting again. After some phone calls and a couple of weeks waiting for the outcome, it turns out the batch of cable I bought is actually OK!
So, back to the kitchen!

Once again the dining area was turned into a workshop and so began drawer making 101.


and finally, and I mean weeks later, it was done. It will all be painted dark grey, and the splashback is under discussion.

Gaffer tape handles are not under discussion.
 The right hand side of the cabinet to the left of the woodstove will contain an electric oven, for those summer months.
