Thanks all, Dave, you're spot on, there is indeed a matching bulge underneath, there is also a small rebate that houses the middle drawer stop revealing some chipboard! So the bulge is here to stay, will go very easy on the sanding front.

Anyone? :)

Hello all, I've acquired a G Plan desk (actually it was a dressing table originally), its looking a bit ropey and I think it was actually being stored outside, I believe its solid teak rather than laminated. No matter, it is what it is and I would like to rejuvenate it, that's not say do a whole...

Thanks guy's, both my wife and I hate glass shower screens, remember the bathroom is only1600x1600, a screen is too bulky in such small space, it's not just a case of the practicalities of fitting one, a curtain is just so much easier, it doesn't get in the way when the sprogs are in the bath...

OK have been a little preoccupied but thought I should update the thread. Day 5 OK so the vanity units and sink & toilet have gone in, really chuffed at how much room there is now (compared to before). Cocked up a bit on the toilet choice though to be frank, its a very compact fella with...
