    Evening interior walls - Primer paint?

    Thanks! I didn't think about lining paper. There are several door frames to go around and corners. Having watched a few YouTube videos I'm a bit worried my seams/edges aren't going to be great. I might contact a few decorators and see how much they'd charge to line them, I'm sure it's going...

    Hi, I've just taken up some big horrible flags out of my kitchen that were laid on an inch or so of cement (still to do under kitchen units). I plan to put laminate down but the surface is going to need levelling. There is a concrete section, boarded section (little uneven) and some channels...

    I am taking up our kitchen floor. It has big flags down layed on cement. I found out part of the floor underneath is concrete, part is boarded, then there is an area struggling to take the cement up. It's not coming up well and I'm not hitting a floor.

    Dishwasher to fit in cupboard

    Ok thanks. Unfortunately it looks like a might as well just remove the cupboard and put a dishwasher in like that. As I didn't put the kitchen in I couldn't get hold of the proper door to be fitted onto an integrated dishwasher.

    Washing machine fitting question

    :shock: That's not good. I guess the only option would be if we got a new sink that didn't require taking up two of the cupboards? I had to look that one up, I'm new to this but at least I'm learning something new! It doesn't appear to have one unless it's in the piping behind the...
