Metric, thanks for info., sad to say I havn't got a clue what you are talking about.

I fitted a laminate floor in a kitchen for a right old worryguts, the place she purchased the flooring from suggested a waterproof adhesive applied in a continuous bead, making sure it squeezed out on top, which then had to be wiped off. It took a little longer than normal and I don't know if...

You should have no trouble at all with just 3 units, as you mention a corner unit, I assume that you have L shape. Start with the corner unit, fix the corner post to the unit before anything else, this helps to find the position of the other unit that joins the post. Get them level, screw...

Thanks very much FWL_Engineer, I was just getting used to being a switched off zombie, now you have made me think.....and my brain hurts. Good god!!.... I'm a kitchen fitter, how did that happen?, that was never in my master plan for life and what happened to all the women I had plans for?

I have recently been involved on another site where this kind of topic came up all the time and am sad to say that for everyperson that fills this way, ten did not. The chances of any change are against. I feel exactly the same way as masona, plus the depression, minus the pills(at the...

PS I decided not to do anymore when I left the house, there are better ways of keeping the wolf from the door

Some years ago while going through a very long lean period and against my better judgement I found a job through the jobcenter as a emergency plumber, potential hourly rate £70. I was invited to attend a 2 hour induction, which was intended to show me how to bleed the customer dry, something...

My son works for an up market kitchen company, he averages £1700 per fit which takes 3 days. No worktops as they are done by specialist granite firm. He also tells me there is nothing special about the product, it's just slightly better than the big three's.( he has fitted for them too) I have...

This bloody thing is so close to being a ghost, if I don't kill it by the end of the week it will be a miracle. It nearly went through the window today.

I had someone in to sort out my computor, he wiped everything off and started again. He said, he would duplicate all the settings, so I could start over again should I require on the hard drive. I found something called ghost, would this be what he meant? I've clicked on this but nothing...

Please help me again About 6 months ago I paid someone to come in and sort my computor out, loads of bits and pieces were not working correctly. He suggested that as I had a large hard drive which I don't use much, he would duplicate all the new settings on it, so that if things went wrong I...

I'm not a tiler but do a fair bit in the kitchens I fit and very rare bathrooms. I use ( I can hear them laughing already) a plasplugs electric cutter (£30) and a decent metal constructed tile cutter. They have been in use for over 6 years and have always done well. The electric cutter...

Using MFI prices from 11 years ago, they may have changed since then £150 to start, that was for ripping out old kitchen, cutting hole for sink, fitting sink and plumbing. £35 per unit complete £15 per infill £35 per mitred joint £35 per appliance £35 for new socket £120 for new cooker...

From what I understand 18 gauge & brad are the same thing, they fire a nail 1mm in dia. and are used for fine work, beadings etc. 16 gauge is slightly bigger, has a different head shape to brads and is used on skirting, door stops etc. Not 100% sure on finish nailer, I think it's more an...
