Christ - I've just had a good look around the house inspecting the UPVC frames etc and just discovered the same is done with the FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!! The frame has been cut around two stupid godawful pieces of dado rail. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH GODDAMIT! I want to build...

No, I didn't know about that one either. I trawled the net for days researching kitchens before I booked it, and I found diynot.com by accident the other day when looking for heating advice. :? Oh well.

Thanks for the advice! It's all sorted now, HOWEVER............ when opening the filling loop the lever broke right off. Hmm. That's when we discovered it had already BEEN SUPERGLUED!!!!!!!!! And guess what, the only people to ever touch it have been the people who installed and serviced it...

I've had the electrics checked out by my brother-in-law (electrician) who says that cos we have the green sticker (sorry can't remember the name of it!) in the supply box and the electrics are all modern standard etc we already have a new consumer unit, so this guy who came from B&Q was talking...

RIDICULOUS! Have Sony made that decision just in the UK or worldwide? What are they going to do, track down everyone who fits the chips and confiscate the PS2s from people who've had it done? Years ago I had the original Playstation. A big fan of the Final Fantasy games which come out in...

Excellent choice! ('I think we'll go with a little Bohemian Rhapsody gentlemen?' - Wayne's World) Ahem. Where's all the Metallica? So far I'm not impressed with anyone else's taste in music! :lol: heehee Mine is 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica. That's mine and my fiance's song for...

Well they say their electrical work is always done by a qualified electrician and that they certify all work done...so we'll wait and see. I'm definitely having my brother-in-law check over the work when it's done, and he's coming to check everything out beforehand just to check if the kitchen...

I had the same problem in my mother's house... I used the flexible coloured filler for the laminating flooring range (can't remember the range name, you can get it from B&Q?) which doesn't exactly ever match the flooring but for thin gaps it looks OK, and cos it's flexible it should 'give'...

My vet told me the only way to remove the smell of cat urine is to use biological washing powder. Anything with ammonia in will exacerbate the smell, and also the smell being there encourages other cats to 'mark their territory' in that area. I had that problem with my kittens, cos they...

I don't know if that 'How Clean Is Your House' programme has a website but they had several remedies for bathroom cleaners using simple household items - they recommend white vinegar for almost everything! I think it was white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda mixed to a paste for whitening...

Thanks for that, I will be sure to check. With this week's 'events' (see my previous topics) I'll be checking them out thoroughly. I already did it before I booked them, but now I'm a little distrusting! They said we're getting installation certificates for both the electrical and gas work and...

I've been vegetarian since I was about 14...so 11 years now, and I never really liked meat before so I've never been tempted, ever. Nobody ever told you they put lips and eyes in things when you were little!!! :roll:

Yeah, it's about 1.25in thick, and a 4in high section has been cut out. Hopefully I'll be able to get a piece the same to fit into the gap. The side with the bits of tiles in it doesn't look too bad now cos the tiles were white and are obviously white in the middle, so you can't really see them...

I'm glad you said 'after the kitchen is installed'. I was going to go and report it to the manager, but I thought if the same guy's going to get into trouble, then is doing my kitchen, he'll deliberately mess it up if he knows we've shopped him. I'm not worried about myself getting conned, (just...

Phew! I thought you were going to say they'd rip my house apart or something! I've already chec ked all that, and they do guarantee all electrical work and certify it all. Whether they do it correctly, I'll have to wait and see! I will want to see the qualifications of the guy who does the work...

Er, dingbat, you mention 'dangerous problems caused by kitchen fitters'.... this is worrying me. I'm having a kitchen fitted in 2 weeks and I'm already doubtful of their electrical skills (see my post at the top of the forum!) Is this something you find often, and if so PLEASE let me know what...

eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww NASTY! Thank you for reaffirming my decision to be vegetarian!!!

Didn't know if I was allowed to mention the name. I'm not badmouthing them, as everything else they've done has been great, but as for kitchens my faith in them is waning (I will update on the quality once it's been fitted), but so far B&Q are not filling me full of hope!!! I researched...

Our house has previously had a conservatory added to the back of the house, joining onto the kitchen. As I'm quickly discovering, all their DIY attempts on the house are a complete joke, and everything's done in inconceivably stupid ways! (Note, all these disasters were by the previous...

No securespark, don't do it! Stay with the Quorn! Quorn good, bacon evil! :lol: I'm a veggie too :D When my kitchen fitters arrive they're getting Quorn sandwiches and broccoli quiche mwahahahahaha
