Dodgy Brothers

We wondered if we were getting the right people for the job.  We had cupboards to be installed so we hired our name for ourselves “dodgy brothers.”  Turns out they did what appears to be a good job,
It is not like we did not offer it around, telling others we would pay for the work to be done. But no-one jumped at the chance, and we were left with a decision that meant if we wanted it done, we needed to do it ourselves.
I have found it is often the case that if someone else is to be involved it happens almost effortlessly, whereas if not, then nothing happens despite our best efforts. (I can point to many things around here where only one person or company offered to do the job, and one was all we needed.)
Anyway, we ended up getting what we needed and doing it ourselves (what was needed included a microwave holder which we got earlier).
We had determined that Tuesday was the day.  Talk about best laid plans.   I received a phone call that meant I could not do it when we had decided to do it.  We had set aside 9-12am.  But it did not happen then.  Instead in the afternoon we decided we would just do it.
Merril actually loves this sort of stuff and had found where she believed the studs were and marked where drilling needed to take place.  I had looked up drilling into walls (with electricity in mind) and knew I could approach it with confidence.
We had bought cupboard holders from Bunnings.  The cupboards (from our old kitchen) proved to be lighter than expected.
We got the job done and it has proved to be the sort of thing we go back and have a look at marvelling at how well it all turned out.
We did go up to Bunnings after the event and bought a “you beaut” stud finder as well as an electronic distance measurer.
Now for installing a splash back under the cupboards.  I have stuff I want to do outside but the goal of being able to walk away from the completed room by the end of January is very much still achievable.
