The new wiring is in, they just need to fit sockets, cupboards and floor.

BECAUSE THERE'S NO EMOTICON FOR WHAT i'M FEELING RIGHT NOW!

The 'kers turned up early today, disconnected the cold water, blocked off my fridge, and I have no coffee! d04l1ng

good looking AND modest
same as Jaws :bow: done the leccie, plumbing and fitted all the units myself!! :eek: I don't see how people struggle to put MFI stuff together, :dunno: and plumbing a couple of taps sink and washer is just as easy!! had the "in law to be" check the trickery prior to me blowing myself up and that was ok too,!! :bow: still got the cornice and pelmets to put on the cupboards, but as it's only been a year theres plenty of time to do that :rolleyes:

Stan,

Had to do mine top to bottom.

New Ceiling, floors, total re wire, plastering etc, re plumbing as moved Sink etc..

Saved ourselves apx 3k from having the pros doing it. Biggest cost was having to get a pro in to do the joints on the work tops he also cut the holes for the hob and sink, did not trust myself to do the joints with a jig and router.

First time I have ever done something like it, well pleased with the finish..
