Yesterday we drove to Ikea in Osaka and purchased the units for the kitchen. We were able to bring back 500Kg of cabinets but the two worktops and sink will have to be cut and will be delivered in a few weeks.

The kitchen is due to be fitted the first week in March. By then we have to put it together offsite to get all the hinges, sliders and handles aligned. There are a few areas tha have to be customised - the tall cupboard housing the wall oven is about 6mm to narrow, this is the main job. A friend with a furniture workshop is going to help with this.

This week we also chose the sinks and taps for the first floor toilet and bathroom.
