MR D.I.Y

Some of you reading these blog enteries from the UK may be wandering what Rob is up to these days... Well he really has become a DIY/Handyman type of guy. He'll come home from work and put on scruffy old clothes straight away and after a quick hello and play with Emma he'll be attacking (opps I mean creating something..) A couple of weeks ago the front porch lights were a problem and they were changed but more recently it's been the kitchen which we've nicknamed the smallest kitchen in Auckland! Ever since moving here over two years ago Rob has been trying to think of ways to improve it - after many (and I mean many) trips to kitchen shops and lots of disappointment cos the bench isn't wide enough to put in our dream cooker or butlers sink (Rob hasn't given up on that one though!) Rob set about changing the look of the cupboards himself framing them to cover up ugly hinges. And more recently he's made a second pantry which has taken lots of time but looks pretty professional so far - I will post the completed pictures when they're all done. We also have plans to knock down a wall in the kitchen.... but we might get a builders' advice before we do that one!...
