we have decided that since the inside width is 75cm we are just going to slide a fridge in there anyways. That was th eplan if the cupboard was gone and since it'll fit there seems little point to waste time and money attempting to remove it.

This is good to hear! the water main comes up out of the ground on the other side of the room by the sink so which of the other two pipes in that image are the gas? the 15mm one going into the bottom or the 22mm one going into the top? above the boiler ish is the hot water tank.

Managed to get a few images of my larder today, the plan was to have it removed so we can get a fridge there but im wondering if its even possible or if we shoud just use it to hide the washing machine/dryer since its big enough. The square on the ceiling is the landing at the top of...

apologies, some forums like flickr code others dont. I always forget to preview first >< lol. All fixed now. Thanks :)

After 9 months i finally got the keys to my house and so went in today to get lots of pics and detailed measurements. In the corner of the room there is a cube about 12" along all sides with what looks like a flu coming out of the bottom. It feels like brick but I'm not sure what it is. The...

two friend of mine have Ikea kitchens, one for about 10 years and one recently installed. Both are very very happy. We'll be putting an ikea one in when we do ours, its all got to be rewired and re plumbed anyway so its no biggied for us. And having that extra bit of space will be handy...

glad this came up, will be doing the same in my place soon! Though were a lot of those galvanised tanks not put up before the roof/hatch were installed so they could be whatever sized they liked?

Do you have any further info on this? I am about to buy a house with a similar pantry (ghastly things) and want it gone to put a fridge there also.

It'll all be being done by a nicieiceiece (sp? lol) spark as i know its all special work because its in the kitchen. I realise that the guys coming in to quote will be able to give me more in depth info but i would just like an idea if the things i have asked about are even possible. I have...

Today I am supposedly getting the final go ahead on the property we have been trying to buy for the last 5 months. Now that we are finally getting the damn place I thought it about time to start getting an idea of what I want/need for the kitchen rewire and CU. First some info. The entire...

Thanks for the replies. Once i get a day off i'll try and got down and knock on some doors. If the wall IS supporting the stairs, is there anything that can be done to change that? or are these things set in stone? EDIT: i found this link from Hinkley and Bosworth borough council which is...

The house i am trying to buy was built in 1955 by the local authority, concrete floor 3 bed semi. In the 10ft square kitchen there are currently 3 doors, a window and this larder cupboard which takes up one corner of the room. We want to remove it so that we can put a fridge there...

Indeed yes, grew up in Addiscombe but the house is out in Hooley (up the road from the BP Garage before you get to the M23). After looking at my plans some more i have decided to not bother with horizontal chases. It would save me a little cable but would mean more chasing and therefore more...

Thanks for the replies. I'll be checking through the Part A sction you mentioned and will be sure to have everything checked before i start (at the rate the solicitors are going it could still be months :().

Forgive my question. I am confident that i know the answer but would much rather check first. I am about to move into my first house which has a concrete floor down stairs and not enough sockets because of its age (1955 - Council). As far as i have been able to determine from this site and...

Since when did he tell RBS to blow £10 billion CASH on ABN Amro? when did he ask Northern Rock to give out 125% mortgages? RBS bought ABN Amro only because they could, they had crazy cash stockpiles and no-one in the financial markets were willing to admit that it couldnt continue. Had they...

while i dont want Gordon Brown to make things any worse, and while i dont agree that he should be PM, there are certain things you do not do. One of these things is asking the fire brigade trying to save your house to stop for 6 months while another crew is brought in and allowed to get a...

I found mybuilder a few months back who I think are partnered with Travis Perkins and Wickes. Submitting a job is free. Its something I was thinking of looking at when I get my house but a mates brother is a builder so I'm quids in :)

Handy to know as i was planning on getting one soon to do the house up. Want to get some other bits but the only thing my dad doesnt really have is a decent cordless. His 20 year old B&D corded will handle anything that this cant until i can justify getting an SDS.

After months of delays I'll be buying my first house within the next week or so and the main project is to completely revamp the kitchen. At the moment there is a brick larder cupboard that extends into the kitchen that we want to remove to give more space. From my frankly incredible drawing...
