Reno Blog #20 - Carpentry (Kitchen)

Update as at 20 May 2010

Kitchen Carpentry

Most of our carpentry had been installed. For our kitchen, we had re-located the water piping to shift the sink to the opposite wall. This was to allow us to build a tall cabinet next to the kitchen sliding door and site the fridge next to the window. Nothing would be built-in below the window.
