Thanks foxhole. I'll get the hinge cutter bit and stick it in my cordless drill and have a play using some scrap, for starters Doors are about 178 quid a pop that's why I'm giving this a good coat of thinking-about! Regards Terry

Thanks Dave54. Since I last posted I've unwrapped more of the stuff that came with the washer dryer. One particular door will attach to an integrated washer dryer from AEG. They've included hinges which need a recess, but if I don't use these I'd have to find something else which would attach to...

"Midfield" should be mdf

Ah thanks John, Dave54. Good advice. I'll have a look in Lidl on Monday. Also looked at this : http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb672dbt-290mm-pillar-drill-230-240v/1009j?_requestid=174115 Just a thought. These hinge recessed into the circular holes are (I think) cos eg midfield isn't strong...

Ar, just found a bit more info. Looks like forstner bit in router is a shortcut to A&E! This is because of the high speed of the router. You can get router bits for hinge cutting but they look to be about half way to the price of a cheap drill press. Are cheap drill presses (where you attach...

hi all, I've read around this forum a bit about this. Looking like a job for a hinge cutter instead of a forstner bit maybe? This is to do with some mods / additions to an existing kitchen so it has to have doors to match those already in place from some years ago. We managed (finally) to find...

hi all, My existing kitchen has an integrated fridge and a freestanding washer-dryer. The fridge is old, and the washer-dryer is going to a good home at a relative's house. I am intending to fit an integrated fridge-freezer, an integrated washer-dryer and an integrated (or semi-integrated, not...

Hi I used the Zinsser range - I think Perma-White initially when we moved in. (I know you want to know about paint but after moving into this house we spent a winter in condensation hell before installing a Nuaire Drimaster positive input ventilation machine, and our problems vanished. They're...

Thanks Alan. Regards Terry

hi all. I'm getting an integrated fridge freezer delivered on Friday 18 December (if all goes according to plan.) Work on the kitchen is still ongoing and I've not yet got a cabinet for the fridge freezer. (I also don't have a freezer at the moment, just an old fridge.) What with being...

thanks Alastair, I'll have a look.

Nose all, thanks, sorry about delay. Built 1960 afaik, but lots of stuff changed since then I think, e.g. Upvc windows / doors, so soffits probably more recent. Regards, terry

Hi all, I want to fit soffit vents but notice a lot about not drilling soffits cos so asbestos. The soffits are white and look like plastic upvc type of thing to me. Any way to find out what the material is please? Thanks in advance. -terry

Thanks chaps, I'll see what plumber thinks.

Hi all, I've done a few searches in the forum but washing machine waste questions / answers always assume there is a drain. I'm fitting a washing machine where there is (1) no electricity - spark coming to fit socket (2) no water supply - will get plumber to run a pipe to it (3) nowhere for the...

Yes this is a Wanner. I had a clear out prior to a recent house move and was going to chuck it till I saw they cost about £70. so I kept it which is just as well as I now need it. Thanks to all for your replies I'll clean it as advised - terry.

Hi all, I've got a lever action grease gun, was my Dad's, it just lay around the garage for a couple of decades.
