Here's the old kitchen, it's dark and cold
Who on earth would decide on black tiles on the floor after all
I find cupboards hard to use, my hands are quite weak so I struggle at lifting everything from the front to get to the back
I like these drawers but they are too deep, I use them every day so I really want drawers everywhere
This overlong wall cabinets make the rooms seem very small, and what the h*** is this?
Yeah it's a bit of wall with a door
The broken oven we haven't been using for about 3 months
And the dishwasher that broke a few months before that
We really need a new ktichen
This is the kitchen with everything removed
Claud thinks it looks a lot bigger, but I don't know actually?
I think the ceiling looks low
It's an odd thing
I don't know what my kitchen would look like without its humans, but not like this
Eugh, looks gross in this corner
Hopefully it will look a lot better soon
We are going to lay down new floor, some new floorboards
to have nice wooden floor up on this black one
which shows every single speck of dirt
Here is our first unit
Our very first piece, and the instructions because Ikea, yeah
And over here we have all of the boxes of our new kitchen still not ready to go
and our corner kitchen which we are actually doing quite well
It's quite difficult to make any food
We are surviving
At least claudia can just eat bread, that's quite good
Hi Tilly, they are not really enjoying our life with boxes right now
So messy, oh my god...
But it is Wednesday morning and here's the progress in the kitchen, as you can see the walls now had a
second coat of paint, they look quite good
We've got a few units in already
This little whole will have a carrousel thing, that's gonna spin around with dry goods on
This is gonna have the oven, in which I'm really excited about because it has the hide and slide
So you pull down the oven door and then it just goes underneath
Very nice
This one it's gonna have olive oil and that sort of thing
Probably also tin foil
That's a radiator, it's been there all along
This is going to make kind of a white dresser effect
It has two doors here that colapse and as you can see quite skinny
It's going to have some more wall things here, again it's going to make a little dresser effect, beautiful
Also we'll have some wall units here becaues it's a rather small kitchen
and we need space but it is at least bigger than this
Also we have no water, so I've been filling out this jug in the bathroom
The dogs arent pleased
Not good eh
This is... what day are we even?
This is our house now
We can't get to the microwave anymore
No food for us
C: We got a really fun delivery
C: a magic can!
J: at least now we can eat canned food
We just can't heat it up but that's something
Oh how is it looking down here?
I don't know whats happening.. oh look!
There's our floor, he's put our floor down
And then put boxes on top of it so the floor doesn't get injured that's a good plan
Oh and look
Other bits are coming in
Oh the electrician came today
Now all the wires are here so that we can have our under cupboard ligthing
and the cupboard lightning here
Fancy, very fancy
Look, I guess that would be the switch to turn it on
This is not excellent
Oh dear...
Oh it's so gorgeous even there's a mug in it
It's so lovely and apparently we can now put things down the sink so no more washing up in the bathtub
Yay!
Aren't you happy?
J: Don't film me down my knickers
C: She is like oh no, don't take me into the kitchen
C: Don't traumatise her...
J: Look this is were we can wash Tilly and a baby
C: She is like 'What am I doing in here? You are crazy'
J: Look at this worktops
C: Nice!
And we have a dishwasher that works for the first time in months
Apparently, if you can open it
Oh yeah!
That is the fridge here
C: What is going on with those 2?
J: They are a bit distressed these doggies
C: Alright he's not put the front on yet
C: Is it meant to spring however?
C: Maybe it's the design
Look the drawers, I've always wanted drawers
J: Oh look, space to walk!
Excellent!
Hello you two, what are you up to?
Eh? Nothing? Something? Olways something with you two...
Life is hard, isn't it Waltie?
Oh no Tilly has taken a piece of carboard
Okay how about I split the cardboard in half and then everyone gets a piece of cardboard? Yay cardboard!
Something is happening again in the kitchen
What is it? What could it be?
Jessica in the kitchen
I'm so happy, oh look, beautiful
C: I was like this drawer is quite weird, but he actually hasn't done it yet
Or he is just resting the drawer on the floor?
J: I think she is breaking stuff
J:That's a drawer... uhhh
C: And it's soft close!
J: I'm so excited by these drawers
and he said I can chop on this surfaces but I don't want to!
C: that's because it's not going to stay there, because it's gonna have the hoves there
*both laugh* C: So yeah that's why you can chop on this bit as much as you like
Oven space!
Claudia's head
J: Uh look!
Oh nice
C: This is where you are going to put food and stuff
J: I'm gonna put dry goods in here
Look at it, and no longer our kitchen has the disgusting mould smell
J: So today's big excitement: dun dun dun look at that, open the door!
C: Maybe I keep this instruction manual...
J: Okay yeah will do, you are ruining my shot...
So the big excitement today, the oven got put in
Look, dun dun duun!
Both: Woaaah Oh My God!
It's so beautiful, and then I will take things out and I will not burn myself
C: it's got a light in there
So fancy, fancy settings
J: Look at all this, there's a bread... oh
J: You can bake bread in it, you can raise bread in it, you can profe bread in it
I don't know what that is? Is that meant to be...?
C: I think it's a joing
Of some description
J: and we have 2 hoves
This one is an induction hove
Very safe, you can touch it and it will just be a bit warm, it won't burn me
C: I'ts magnetic so unless you have like metal hands then it might burn you
I think if you have metal hands you should probably be quite careful
C: You wouldn't want to wear those gloves with the metal fivers in it designed to touch like...
I don't know why someone would be cooking with those
J: Well it could be a very cold day
C: And they have gas because I was like I wanna do my stir fry
*Jessica plays with the switch*
C: So easily pleased
And look at this beauty
Tilly likes it too
Do you like the kitchen tilly?
You like it? You think it's really nice?
It is really nice isn't it
The end of the next day!
I realise Im actually wearing the same shirt as yesterday but don't be fooled
I'm just a disabled person who doesn't leave the house that much ok? So if you only wear clothes for like 3 hours a day might as well
wear for another 3 the next day...
Let's see how the kitchen is looking!
So the new update today is:
Oh look, front somethings..
Exciting, although he hasn't put the handles on yet except for this one
But then there is all this wood here so I can't really show you or open it
But look they are pretty handles
and look ohhh
It's gonna look so good I'm so excited
Cupboards
Cupboards..
and there's going to be a little thing here so that looks very nice and clean, decorative
Cabinets very nice, there's going to be a place rack here and a little shelf
Look, drawers
It's a draw front
This one is also quite good
*struggles* again, things need handles
This kitchen makes me really happy, I know Iam easily pleased but genuinely it makes me very happy
I can't wait to use it *happy dance*
That's my happy dance
C: Oh we should have brought the new microphone, but this one doesn't got microphone
That's why we are changing you Sony, for a cannon
Cause you haven't got a microphone
J: Served us well for so long tho
C: It's a really good camera
J: Just sadly lacking in that department
C: We thought for this events would be perfect but we need to have a microphone
Otherwise is too much noise
Probably can't even hear me
J: A lot of background noise as you are probably experiencing
We are at a Thai festival !
C: In Preston Park, Brighton
J: Nicely done
C: Basically there is a Thai festival every other year at the Secret Gardens Center
In surrey were I used to live, and we used to go with my Malaysian mafia, that's what we called it
Basically my mom's family, not even family, just like friends who also happened to be Malaysian
It's literally all from down the street
J: They are all Malaysian, they all live in Gilford, they are family
C: Are you Malaysian? Yeah? Let's be friends! Join the mafia!
The only business this particular mafia was in was cook really nice food together
J: and have parties
C: So anyway we got some of the representatives here
C: It's basically me, and Lily.
J: and Catherine!
C: Yeah I mean t heir family and the Fozard family
It's nice, but they don't do it at the Secrets anymore
So anyway we used to go every year, or every other year as a family thing and we set up camp like a pic nic
and then we would have some nice food and you'd feel like you are in Malaysia/Thailand
So anyway, this one is in Brighton, come along
It's nice!
It's a bit like the other one, we had some nice food, you had some chicken satay
J: I had a deep fried chellapp a
That was very nice actually, I picked it appart with my fingers
and a thai salad
C: And then you ordered it and I came over
J: Yeah she was like hmm white girl, not spicy
C: and I was like no, more spicy
J: and she looked at you like 'vaguely brown' really spicy then!
C: I dont think it was spicy
J: No it was fine! Which is hilarious that she added like to miniature chillies for me so you coming and was spoonful
C: Suddenly there were loads of chilli
and we had some nice dessert
Yeah, coconut jelly
It looks amazing
C: I think you would like it
J: I really wanted it
C: it doesn't even taste that sweet, but obviously has sugar in it
I can have everything except for the sugar so I'm going to invent
C: Oh yes you can make it yourself but with like sweetener or something
To be fair is pretty nice here today in Brighton, it's sunny, its 26 degrees
It's like holiday
We haven't got work for the next like 2 days
Loving life
C: Yeah, it's nice
J: Aside from the dogs, I don't think they are loving life
C: Because of the mayhem of the kitchen
J: They are not enjoying it, they like everything to be in it's place, they like their routine to be exactly the same every day
and it's not
C: I think we are all a bit like that, it's not just the dogs
J: Yeah we both cried about the fact that things are not where they are meant to be
C: We shouldn't do any more building work for a while
J: Maybe we don't buy a project house
It's things that need a bit of a cosmetic touches
I would like more than one tap on each floor
That would be good
C: We could have like an utility room and not do the utility room while doing the kitchen
J: So we can use the sink
C: But anyway, it's all part of life
Stranger: Are you a vlogger?
Both: Hello
Here it is, the almost finished kitchen
it's really white and beautiful
I'm using the wrong lense and I can't get further away
What are you doing...?
I am taking all this tape off our fridge so we can put things in it!
C: This lens is ridiculously close...
