I agree with Ricicle, Davy and RF and ColJack too (socket could be better positioned). The reason the sockets are like that is that a 3m worktop just reaches to where the upper socket is. Also the low down socket is on the boundary of solid floor and wooden floor. I wanted the upper socket to be above the worktop for things like blenders, handmixers, kitchen radio etc. Low down socket is for hoover. Anyone know why the kitchen floor would be solid when the rest of the house is suspended wooden floor?
