good news, bad news

We visited our furniture supplier again yesterday - and finally ordered our kitchen. What's more: we will have it all done for us! The cost for placing is about 10% of the total cost, but they can place it in one day, where I probably would be busy for over a week... And of course, if something goes wrong, I'm not responsible :)

Not all good news though: after some strange discoveries in the water pipes we decided to replace the entire piping system. The previous owner made it easy for us: we can install all the water pipes without breaking any floortiles. They all arrive in a corner of the kitchen, in the hole you see in the picture. Even better: none of them is properly attached in any decent way, so they're easy to remove. Also note the small unprotected yellow pipes: they contain all electricity to the kitchen - loose in the sand under the tile floor. Better remove and replace all those as well.

Installation of the new water pipes should be quick and easy using the plastic red and blue "pipe-in-pipe" system.

Should.

Well, it seems that redecorating a house includes a lot of fun ;-) and a lot of surprises!
I am soo glad I only had to do two rooms and no kitchen, bathroom or pipes had to be done. But you two seem to cope quite well, so I know whom to ask when the same kind of quest comes my way in a few years time!
And I hope you post some pictures when everything is finished. I will think of you two when I am going to help my brother and sister-in-law in two weeks time, when they start to redecorate their new house!
Greetings from Germany and keep on rocking!

Dag Roel,

Neem je bochten met en buis-in-buis systeem ruim genoeg, want deze buizen blijven tot 6maanden na de productie werken en dan kunnen de koppelingen losschieten door het krimpen van de buis!!! Een gewaarschuwd mens is er twee waard!!!
