For over twenty years Steve has owned an investment property four kilometres out of Oakey and it has been rented out. The time has come to sell  and  there was a lot of tidying up to be done both at the house or elsewhere on the fifty-five acres. Steve's last trip home was to get a new kitchen installed. No problem to find personel for such a job in the city but the only one to be found was from Victoria and wanted a fortune to do the job.So Steve came out and helped the handyman who had been working on other jobs and also some help from mates and it looks great.

Les and Es arrived to help and brought coffee as well

Almost ready for a new kitchen to be added

The new kitchen arrived in numerous boxes but no one wanting to install it.

Steve and Handyman got to work and cupboards starting to take shape

Well into the job most of which was done in three days

This section finished apart from a missing door which was collected from the factory later.

Almost done and only one left to tend the fire

It once was an untidy heap of rubbish
