tomahawk66 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 So close now! And her home is nearly ready: The awning is up as is most of the outdoor kitchen... A lot of little touches will remain like lighting, table, electric fans etc, but she'll be protected from the rain and ready for her first cook pretty soon! I just hope Bosco's laureate inferno dies down soon... 😜 Regards, Oliver In Singapore.

MacKenzie Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Jon, you must have gotten an inside tip from Dennis as to the colour he sent to tomahawk. It looks great, has that nice warm feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomahawk66 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yep, the movers arrived this morning to deliver our household goods shipment that got here in record time: 3 weeks door to door from our apartment in Shanghai, packed, shipped and through customs and now arriving at our new house in Singapore! Then the contractor will finish the counter tops this afternoon and the KK arrives at 6... Busy day but glad to get it all done! Regards, Oliver In Singapore.

CeramicChef Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Oliver - I see all those boxes stacked and I just shudder! Getting those boxes unpacked was always my biggest headache, and I didn't have a young family to contend with as do you. My Friemd, I wish you well. Unpacking that KK BB 32" won't seem like a chore though; it'll be an awesome break. Congrats on all things new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawk66 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks everyone, we got all the furniture unpacked and in place but most of the boss are waiting for our wardrobes, bookshelves etc as we don't have those yet (last place was all built-in). Holiday season is gonna all be about furniture! With one exception... Regards, Oliver In Singapore.

tomahawk66 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 So I was waiting like a kid at Christmas watching for the truck, very happy to see it pull up After Dennis' warning about a how they usually come with just a flat bed and a winch/crane device I was glad that my forewarning was headed and they brought a truck with a lift gate! Lucky they brought 3 guys and I was there to help: we nearly ran out of puff getting the 1,600lbs crate up the drive: First sneak peak of "Big Blue" in her 'cage' (really beginning to understand why CC called his 32 beast!!) The crate is so well thought out. Even I could understand how the system works! I managed to get the top of the crate off by myself by removing most of the slats at the back and then tipping it over (I was impatient and my buddy had got stuck on a conference call so I needed a work around...) I removed the coco char, side tables, damper and drip pan: Speaking of double walled drip pans... Holy smokes this one is HUGE! I can't wait to open it and then take a photo of my daughter sitting in it... It's bigger than her baby bath! Then we ran out of time... I had to put the crate lid back on and lock up as the house still isn't quite ready for us yet and we needed to eat and get our daughter to bed. Yes I know: cliffhanger!! I won't be able to finish up until the weekend unfortunately. It's gonna be a long 2 days! Regards, Oliver In Singapore.
