Sunset

Last night the sun was bringing a warm late Autumn glow across the vineyards, this lasted just minutes before the sun set for the day, and we closed the shutters in readiness for the chilly evening.

Today, Brian had been ensuring the drawers in the mahogany cabinets we had bought for the kitchen were running properly. As they were old and well used, they had been worn down by time, so he filled the right hand runner with a strip of oak to lift it slightly, it did the trick. He also filled the fronts of one of the other drawers with a small slither of wood before staining it to match the unit.

For the unit to the right of the cooker Brian needed to remove the wooden top and add a piece of oak for the worktop to fit onto. This needed to be just the right height so the worktop is even with the one on the left of the cooker. Once it was shaped he stained the front with two types of wood stain and then lacquer to protect it. He also needed to fix it to enable the drawers to still work once the stone worktop is fitted. I will use the gap between the unit and the wall to store trays.
