The kitchen units and doors arrived last Thursday and Dom took Friday off so he'd have a long weekend to start installing them. It was a slow weekend, because of the plumbing for the dishwasher, which involved some intricate copper pipe-work. We had to pre-empt delivery of the appliances and go and pick up the dishwasher from the shop we'd ordered them from to find out how much space there'd be between the back of the dishwasher and the wall. It turned out there was none, so the wall had to be cut out and the pipework inset. This took up the whole weekend.

Meanwhile, I gave our downstairs ceiling it's final coat of white paint. It was a neck-breaking job which took 6 hours, but it looks fantastic.
