I'm your number one fan!

Remember that boring picture of the new kitchen?



Here it is now looking slightly less boring. The new extraction canopy is fixed to the wall. The stuff below is stainless steel sheeting - it's got a protective film on just now. The big square box in the corner on the floor is the fan unit which, I think, will be mounted outside to make it quieter. This is a centrifugal fan (cylindrical with lots of little blades) unlike the old one which is an axial fan (looks and sounds like an aeroplane propeller). The ventilation folk were supposed to be back yesterday to continue installation, but, guess what - they didn't show up. Meanwhile in the function room...



A lot has happened here. The doors are back on, the wall is plasterboarded on both sides and rockwool insulation has been fitted in the cavity. The big opening will eventually be for the double doors, but in the medium term it's just going to be plasterboarded.
