Kitchen - phase two.

Share

After the time consuming Phase One renovation on the sinking part of the house, the kitchen and the groundfloor backroom have taken their shape well.

Here's a quick summary:

Before

After

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3: Wall separating the dining area from the kitchen.

Step 4:   Now the kitchen has its own space, its time to fix things up.  First we opted for cemented kitchen top.  So here it goes :

Here lies the problem :

From this view the kitchen window gave a wide opened view onto the garden.  No doubt this is what we opted for and fond of.  Imagine one can do one's dishes facing a garden view like this ...

Sounds ideal? Well the problem is we originally wanted to have at least an 8 inches wall before the window frame, so that the water won't splash the window all the time.  From the photo above, notice there is literally no space for such 8 inches wall between the window frame and the kitchen top.

Ah Phan noticed the problem and immediate ordered to rectify the problem.  So a new window frame will be made to replace this one.

Finally, this is the photo BEFORE the change :

.. and here's the photo AFTER the new window frame being put up today :

Here's the new scenic view after the window mod.  Compared it with the photo posted earlier.

Kitchen ceiling receives its treatment.  Here's the frame are being built for the plaster board.

Here's the almost final product.  Note the ventilating fan and exhaust fan holes were being made on the wall.  As all the fans are situated here, the wall will receive the oily fume treatment.  Meaning this corner will have tiles being placed to its max for easy cleaning.

At this point, more updates can be read in Flooring and Tiling Page .  Almost all the wall and flooring are tiled up for the sake of easy cleaning and pleasing to the eyes. 

******************

Windows are finally installed once most of the tiles are in-placed. Its made of aluminum frame with white powder coating.

******************

Granite plates as table top.  This range is one of the most economical one. 

 Holes and trims are done to fit the kitchen sink in due course.

***************

Today stove and overhead suction pump are being placed.

Here's the finished product.

*************

Cabinet was being installed.  Note that the middle drawer, it was too narrow for proper usage.  So the factory get the stuff back to widen it.

**********

After widening, and a few days later, the kitchen cabinet was finally completed.  The timber colour will be able to fit in with the overall colour combo of the kitchen.  

This would mark the final update of the Kitchen.
