Three years on I am still trying to recover fire damaged goods. This is the router that is attached to the router table. Despite heroic efforts the screws holding the router to the table have been welded so are unmovable. The router works so as a table router it is fine. Off to leboncoin to find a new router for non table activities. The olive trees (one shown in the photo) have really responded well to being planted and have developed their best foliage and shapes since we have had them (2014).

Utility units up over the washing machine area but spot the difference with the lower units on the other side.

I went to measure the marble for the counter top only to discover it was not a single sink but a double. More importantly it was not on the right hand side when looking at the units but on the left! Consequently the units do not fit and I have had to move them around. Also, with two sink units the second washing machine (for the doggy items) cannot be fitted as planned and I have redesigned it into the cold store. Now need another base unit so it will be back to IKEA in Bordeaux.

Some of the marble stacked and ready to install.
