13.07.2023 More kitchen remodelling.

 ~o~

 Thursday 13th 61F. Cool and bright but cloudy and really quite windy. The DMI radar shows an elongated patch of heavy rain with lightning. Passing just south in an east to northeasterly direction. The tail end crosses just us at around 8am. So an early walk is most sensible. My shoulders are still aching from yesterday's "exercise."

 7.45 I returned as soon as I had taken a few snaps. To record progress on the earthworks. The sky to the south was darkening and looked untrustworthy. I brought in the overnight towels from the rotary airer. They would be fine if they had a tour on the indoor drier. Though it felt a bit silly to be hanging out more laundry. As they rain began to fall just after 7.30. Fortunately I was still wearing my winter rain jacket.

 The pine cupboard has been brought in to newly dominate the middle of the kitchen. It looked half the size in the display area at the flea market. The plan is to put the cupboard in the space behind the door to the front hall. 

 The cupboard's contents will not be accessed very often. Mainly taking over larder duties on its top shelves. The picture is not very flattering but just to show the new layout. I have to take indoor pictures at waist height. To avoid serious, image distortion!

 I am presently using an open rack for tins and jars. Hidden in the corner but it still looks untidy. As do the open shelves above. Again, access to those is only fleeting and not even on a daily basis. So the cupboard can really tidy up the present scene. 

 Having the fridge half hidden by the hall door is increasingly irritating. The fridge is accessed several times a day. It will be moved to the left for unhindered access. The left side of the cupboard can house the most used items. Where the hall door will not overlap. Now the fridge door is hung on the wrong side. A matter of removing a few screws and swapping the hinges and handles over. If the screws will still undo.

 I could fold the glazed, hall door back against the wall. Or even lift the hall door off its hinges and store it against the wall. I'll see how that looks when I have the shelves taken down. At the moment these prevent the door being folded right back. That may be all that is required for the summer. The door can then be returned to normal duties later in the year. So that it can be opened and closed in winter. Mainly to cut down heat loss overnight.
