The playhouse & hardwood decking is finsihed at last!!!!!!! And I have two, very happy princesses

Threads like this make me glad I'm installing my own kitchen, along with the £5000 cost saving.

Am doing the kitchen, have come up with this design so far, the only difference from the images are... 1. Extractor, now an Elica Glide with slide out glass canopy housed in flyover unit. 2. 3 off flyover units above the breakfast bar that's against the wall. 3. Floating shelves...

Is that opinion of fact?????? Seriously though, I'm not a great fan of the flat plate switches.

It's not the screws that bother me on stainless fittings, it's the god swfullt black or white plastic surronds on the switches/sockets etc that look just horrible. However, after weeks of searching I found some without the surrounds on the switch, and on the sockets the inserts were silver...

I can still do that as I have an access hatch!!!!! Also have access to ratchet crimpers, terminal etc from work. Really the juction box was all I had at the time & was slightly better than twisting the wire together and wrapping in insulation tape as the builders did. Although it's been there...

I need to find some hoinges as used in these under cabinet trays, can anybody please suggest a supplier...

well, I see the kitchen as both somewhere to work, but I still want to walk into it and go "wow, this is nice". As for the hob I bought this - http://www.taw-sales.co.uk/products/1180 and the oven this as it has a decent height on both ovens due to the controls being down the side -...

Problem solved. These guys will machine the whole lot to my drawings supplied finished and ready to fit for under £1000 - http://www.worktop-express.co.uk/
