Our old basin tap got the wobbles, so that it became a 2 hand job to turn it on and off - a bit tricky when you are also trying to hold your toothbrush!
We also built a pantry for our kitchen. We didn't have a pantry, all our pantry items such as spices, herbs, flour etc for cooking plus the breakfast items including, sugars etc were stored on our kitchen bench. This didn't give us much room for anything else on the bench. We looked around for something to purchase to use. We couldn't find anything to use as a pantry storage , or if we did find something it was expensive and didn't really suit what we wanted. So being of a "How difficult can it be ?" approach we started planning. We wanted something that would sit on the bench and be easily accessible. So two weeks after finishing our plans and sketches here we are with a workable pantry. It cost us around 7,200 Vatu about NZ$80.00
The preparation painting the timber. The timber is dry at this stage. we spent a week drying it and turning it regularly during the drying process.
Paint drying, see the high tech drying racks (toilet paper rolls)
Our kitchen bench is multi purpose. It served as a work bench as well
First assembly before applying the final coat of paint
Unit assembled and checking the location for the wall brackets
Drilling the walls for the plugs. The building is made of concrete, including internal walls. John D you may recognise the drill. This is one of the two drills that John Dennis has given to be used in Vanuatu. We have yet to find someone to give them to, we are also waiting for their cases to arrive with our next two visitors in June.
Wall brackets mounted, this unit will not fall down. Well engineered to the extreme, typical Vincent style.
Brackets and pantry come together nicely, thank you God you answered our prayers.
Pantry stacked and ready to use , phew.
Looks like our kitchen at home! Nothing wrong with this sort of design, it looks as though you can really stack it well PLUS have bench space. Excellent!
