Renovation Update

One of the unanticipated perils of hiring your dad to oversee the renovation of your unit is that you run the risk that he may slowly attempt to take up residence in your unit. Without consent. This is all the more concerning when you have yet to move in yourself. It started a few weeks ago when I went to the unit and identified a new unassuming kettle sitting on the newly installed kitchen counter. Sure, I thought, help yourself to a cup of a tea - in fact, I insist. But this was then followed a week later by the appearance of an unidentified toaster followed in quick succession by a small cooking-for-one -frying pan. Squatter situation and associated fry-ups (?) aside, the renovation is going well. The kitchen is almost done albeit for the splash back and I am glad I finally have a set colour scheme in the kitchen to inform the rest of the unit!
