Basically, we had an extension done ten years ago at which point we pulled out the old kitchen which was falling to pieces (literally) and I knocked together a temporary replacement using the existing carcases with some new doors and stuff we managed to get cheap. It was OK enough to last much longer than expected, but Mrs WilliamA recently said, 'We ought to treat ourselves to a nice new kitchen before Christmas.' So off we went to Wren where we invested an unfeasibly vast amount of money, and probably our future security as old retired people, into a new kitchen. The man at Wren said, 'Our installers are a bit expensive.' We agreed when he said £4000 to install it. I've been tasked with that. What I didn't appreciate until we'd signed on the line and a bit after that was quite how much DIY was involved, or the ridiculous level of accuracy (level to within 1mm per metre) the worktop installers require (I'm not doing the worktop). They come tomorrow to make a laser template. I have one day to finish and a LOT still to do. It's literally down to the wire with our pension pot at risk. My stress levels are high. </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43066.8&return_msg=43066.4" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43066.8"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43066_9"></a><div class="message" id="message_43066_9"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Linn (INDYLS)<span class="message_time">18 Nov 22:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 19 Nov 08:22"></span></span> <span class="message_count">9 of 27</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43066.9">43066.9</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43066.4#a43066_8" target="_self">43066.8</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Good luck to you!

He will fire his laser cannons all over the kitchen (nj) and hopefully smile a lot and leave. There's dozens of things still to do, but once he's done his template we can't alter the structure in any way until the worktop is fitted. I'm looking forward to the not doing things bit. Then there's another load of activity to fit all the finishing parts. <br /> <br /> It's been interesting in a way that I'm not especially glad to have experienced. I've done tons of plumbing, wiring, basic carpentry etc over the years, simply because we didn't have any money to get somebody else to do it. But there were things that cropped up in the last 8 days where I had my head in my hands (literally) because I simply hadn't got the first idea how to do it, but I had to find out and then do it straight away, and it had to work.<br /> <br /> This is how it looks right now. It'll be a bit tidier for Ashley.</div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=6d7c054260502c436053a40d5a8be93d&filename=Kitchen 1 (Large).jpg" target="_blank">Kitchen 1 (Large).jpg</a></li> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=185574c8878d113a4085e127ccaa7224&filename=Kitchen 2 (Large).jpg" target="_blank">Kitchen 2 (Large).jpg</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43066.10&return_msg=43066.4" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43066.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43066_11"></a><div class="message" id="message_43066_11"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">19 Nov 12:36</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 19 Nov 15:07"></span></span> <span class="message_count">11 of 27</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43066.11">43066.11</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43066.4#a43066_10" target="_self">43066.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> It's going to be awesome.
