Richardbloke Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi everyone, i am am about to start renovating our kitchen so hope you guys won’t mind me pickin your brains i am a very amateur jack of all trades who tries do as much as I can myself as long as it’s safe to do so. at the moment the renovation will involve recycling old carcasses and making new doors and face frames and so drawers and stuff we have taken this decision after some truly eye watering quotes from kitchen companies marital harmony however relies heavily on a good outcome so wish me luck cheers richard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Welcome Richard. Happy wife, happy life. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Do consider sharing some photos at some point - we love checking out what other people are doing and judging helping as best we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi Richard Are you also doing worktop, sink and taps? How many units and what sort of budget do you have in mind? Sticking with the same layout? As @jack said, photos are a great way for others to snoop / assess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 On a serious note if you're planning any electrical work this is very good with lots of practical advice: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/books/8430771/?cm_mmc=UK-PPC-DS3A-_-google-_-DSA_UK_EN_Office_Supplies-_-Books-_-DYNAMIC+SEARCH+ADS&matchtype=b&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy6iZmuzB2gIVDbcbCh2vxAJQEAAYASAAEgJcFPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Things you might miss like socket heights above worktops, distances from hobs / sinks etc. A second hand copy is worth looking for on the Bay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
