So given that the flooring has now been laid and plaster installed, we sent an email to PK last week to get a rough idea of how long week have left. His response...
10 weeks!!
Getting so excited now, but it is also scary at the same time - it's going to be very strange living in our own house again, particularly as we have now been living back home for longer than we were ever out renting by ourselves.
Things are all moving very quickly at the house now; cabinets have been installed, and materials for the rest of the fix stage have been delivered and are ready to be installed this week.
Boy those cabinetry guys work quickly: everything was delivered last Thursday, and by Friday it was all installed! They did a great job too; the design is based on the original kitchen set-up that we wanted from the Premier house, with a few alterations to suit our new floor plan. Jack from Divine Cabinets has really done well at understanding what we wanted.
The fireplace guy was scheduled to come in on Monday to install the firebox, the upside of which meant that we had access to a key over the weekend...great for getting in and getting some close-up shots of everyone's handiwork.
Unfortunately the fireplace guy was double-booked, so we have had to push back the installation until this coming Saturday. We are going to try and get all of our ducks lined up though, and have booked our excavation guy for Saturday morning as well so that we can get started on the front retaining wall.
Now for the important part - the pictures:

Front view - the boards above will be painted and will form the wall over the mantlepiece.
This is where we are going to put Ben's big red clock that he bought a few months ago with his birthday money |

Love your kitchen, great ideas here with the sink area removed from the bench, you will have so much room and that bench will be great! It looks so nice and light. Hopefully by the time you move in the mud will have gone. I don't envy anyone moving in at this time of the year. I know I hated the dirt and dust but it was the better of two evils.
