Got the cost estimations for the windows and balcony doors. It was less than expected. I'm glad. Work will begin in November right after the new doors and windows will be delivered - hopefully. Delivery periods are 5-6 weeks after order which the carpenter did this week.
I renovated my kitchen. A (nearly) fully new kitchen.
Removed the kitchen door
Removed all the furniture and electric devices and brought them down to the garage for bulky waste
Removed all backsplash-tiles and therefore had to remove the old grout which were holding the tiles
Put on new plaster
Painted all kitchen-walls in white
Built in cork-parquet-flooring
Bought new wall units and counter-tops (all in white) and brought them up to my apartment
Bought new electric devices (cooker, freezer-cooler, dish-washer all in white except for the cooker which is metallic/black) plus a new stainless steel sink
Instead of back-splash-tiles, I sawed and painted boards in lilac and mounted them on the walls.
Installed the wall units
Painted (white) and built in the old base cabinets
Installed the counter-tops and sawed out the holes for sink and ceramic hob
Electricans came to install the cooker, ceramic hob and 3 additional power sockets yesterday
The only thing which still has to be done is installing the sink and dishwasher and the base boards
I did it all by myself except for the above mentioned electric things and the man for installing the sink/dishwasher, who will come next Friday.
It took me more than 2 weeks to do all this on the side, while I was "working" from home.
I'm pretty beat and covered with bruises...
I also got my parquet-flooring for the sleeping room. But I won't be able to lay it as the new balcony door has to be built in first. The floor won't fit under the old balcony doors. *sigh*
