              And I got the rest of the pendants up….

              EDIT. Actually, just remembered, one more to go up top right, but we need to mist coat the ceiling over there first…

                    To put the Kitchen in before the Flooring is at least from a german perspective really unusual, is there a particular reason for that or is that just the way its done over ze pond ?

                        We can let the screed dry for longer.  The stone slabs do not need to go to the walls, just under the plinth of the base units (saving about 6-8 square meters of the expensive floor) and we do not need to worry about trashing the floor, because we will lay it after most of the work and decorating has been done,,,,

                          That makes a lot of sense, these days everything has to be totally modular and fast un-/redoable so i never had a project where that was an option, great idea.

                                    And brought this one back, which is a better size for the new terrace….
