New Kitchen / Cupboards

Post by AlandAnn »

Having just removed the gopping Cupboards from my recent T25 Purchase, I was wondering if anyone on here has carried out their own construction of the interior?

My questions are;

1. How difficult is it to do for a newbie
2. What is the minimal you would expect in a conversion / new build? ie Fridge, tv gas cooker etc.
3. Does anyone want to do it for me? :ok

Nice :pimp

Or you can pop into Ikea and buy a unit already cut.
All you have to do is trim the back to make it fit.

That's amazing. Wish I had the space to play about and do things Luke that.

The drawer slides came from Solmer - solmer.co.uk.. The three pairs (2@ 500mm and 1@ 550mm) cost me £27 a couple of years ago.

The other main expense was the aluminium framing and the joints. These came from Richardsons - richardsonsuk.co.uk . 8x 2m lengths and 31 joints cost £250
