We couldn’t have afforded a new kitchen if we hadn’t tackled it ourselves. IKEA quoted us over $10,000 AUD just for the installation-and that didn’t even include the prep work you see in this video! I hope you don’t find this video too long or boring-it’s always tricky to decide what to include and what to leave out. Thanks so much for watching! 😉😊😀
@@leescooking Yum I love cabbage rolls ... I don't make them very often nowadays as it is so hard to get a whole pickled head of cabbage unless I pickle my own and for me it's got to be pickled lol I'm interested in how you make yours.
Oh, thank you, I think it will turn out lovely. Mike is a bit of a perfectionist. He had to redo the kitchen bench, but now he has the join almost perfect.
OMG.....what an undertaking. It's a huge job. But you wont know yourself when its all complete. So great that Mike can do most of it himself with the help of his lacky😂. Love his accent BTW. Loved watching the video.
Hey Carla, I have not much idea how to do these things, I try to help a little, but I do keep him fed and the coffee going. 😏😃 When we were putting the cupboards together, we timed it, and it took Mike 7 minutes to put a cupboard together and it took me 1 1/2 hours 😉but I can use a drill a bit better now. Mike doesn't like his accent, but I do as well. ❤
Thank you darling for sharing this with us, looking good, can’t wait till the big reveal xx much love from 🏴 btw I made the soup, turned out lovely did cheat and buy some pesto but was still tasty. Xx
Oh, thank you so much, I think the soup would still be tasty and super healthy with pesto. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I am really missing having a kitchen, but Mike's nearly finished the install and then the fun bit, decorating it. I'm trying to personalize the kitchen a little and playing around with painting my own tiles, I really like them so far. Love from 🦘❤
Loved watching this video, but there is no way I would trust my own husband to install a kitchen. Your lucky Mike knows what he is doing. Can't wait to see the end result, all the best.
hehehehe, I wouldn't trust my ex husband to hang a picture frame so I know what you mean. Mike's been a tradie all his life, so he knows how to do a lot of things. And his German heritage makes him very good at finishing it all off, he is super fussy with tiling and in the end we got a perfect bench top join. He did have to redo the first one though.

Not at all long or boring! Can't wait to see it finished but probably not as much as you two 🙂
@@bubarong Oh thank you, yeah, I'm really missing having a kitchen, I'm trying to decide what to cook first. 😄
@@leescooking that sounds like me after my monthly shop lol I'm sure the Swedish meatballs are up there for Mike!
@ I was thinking of German Sauerbraten, or Rouladen or perhaps Cabbage Rolls - it's a hard decision 😉

You are so brave to tackle a kitchen install. It is a real education to see how tricky it can be. I hope it all turns out well in the end.
