Well it's been a while. Progress was slow over winter due to my workload, weather & the dark nights.

Here's some recent pictures, I will take more tomorrow.

Dependant upon how much you do yourself, I'd say 10-12k

Tiles are now fully grouted, and I unloaded the new units into the garage yesterday. And tonight started fitting them.

Ended up in garage till 10:30 and they're all fitted. Protective film still on them minus one so you can see the colour.

Unfortunately that's it for a month as I'm off into hospital tomorrow for surgery so im sorn'd for a while.

I go tomorrow and didn't think I'd get much done tonight but I got all the handles on and tied them back to the wall. And I couldn't resist but take the plastic film of the doors. There is still white film in the door shuts but that's a job for another day.
