Kitchen progress 2

How the kitchen looks before the new countertop was installed. we use pieces of the old countertop for temporary work surface. : ) see the steamer??... made lepat pisang...

the countertop people installing the countertop. the guy is cutting the hole for the sink.

The sink cutout...

installing the sink... see how hardworking and devoted chot is??... didn't even change out of his work clothes. came home and went straight to doing work in the kitchen...

that's what he was doing. making a bigger hole so the sink can go in proper...

all that dust!!! and i just cleaned the kitchen after the countertop people.

Installing the sink...


installing the faucet...

things we need to do in installing the garbage disposer. that stuff around the round metal thingy (i don't know the proper name for it) is plumber's putty. it's like play doh... used to get a secure seal. we don't want a puddle of water under the sink now do we?? : )...


the sink faucet.

love the white theme..very spacious-looking! oh, and i wish they had that garbage disposal feature in Msian sinks...i miss dumping junk down the drain n getting rid of them with merely a flick of a switch! *LOL*
