do you iron your pants warren?

i fitted the kitchen in our last house, was an odd size and very difficult to get stuff that fitted without gaps betweent the cupboards and using a slimline cooker etc.

so i fucked off the guys that came round to measure up and done it diy.

i had to chop some of the backs off the carcasses, but got a full size cooker in there and managed to fit a sink and plumbing that meant i could get the diswasher and washing machine under the worktops, instead of 10cm sticking out...

it took some thinking about, and not realising that the corner cupboards had to be 10cm away from the wall to make the doors open etc that i didnt know about. as i measured everything to an exact fit, then when it came to fitting...

got there in the end lol. oh and i fucked up the grouting on the tiles as it was my first go... that was listening to mate tho, next time, ill do it off my own back!

the kitchen will need doing in this house in the coming years, everything work tho so were going to decorate the rest of the house first.

got outs flatpack from wicks, and our big jamie oliver plates were too big, the door wouldnt shut on the wall units!

so you lean things about sizes etc lol

mother in law have recently had their kitchen done, and they have some nice units, but i dont know where they came from.

ours was about 1k for the units, £600 for cooker and extractor, £600 for fridge and a freezer, worktops were £75 each for a 3m length (x3), paid my mate whos a joiner to notch them for £100 tiles were about £100 and flooring was about £100 (laminate). paint and materials sub £50 anda new kitchen light was about £60.

imo, dont get the halogen lights, as i dunno if its my eyes but i dont like the light they give off, so id get strip lights under the wall units and some spotlights etc in the ceiling
