fitted kitchen advice

[AllanT]

My Grandad built his kitchen cheaply out of the wood from old orange crates, wired it himself, etc. about 40 years later it's still going strong (& no it doesn't look a mess). Perhaps you could have a crack at that Daz????

Ikea are open until 10pm weekdays and it's still busy when I go there after 9pm!

It's probably easier to move house daz....

Or sell the house and buy a new bike instead?

daz only lives up the road from ikea daz you could run there this evening and bring a kitchen catalogue back for AJ

Well quarry the stone yourself!!!

Anyway it looks really good, that was in the days when everything was built to last (including orange crates).

what kills me is that our kitchen is not to bad cos the house is only about 7 years old but hey we have to get a new kitchen.

i mean all i need in a kitchen is a hob, a saucepan and a wok just to boil up my pasta dishes etc
but nowadays you need in built scales,microwave,spiceracks,and all that shit.
ive told her , the day i hit IKEA on a sunday morning is the day they take me away.
i just dont get all that sunday morning shops malarky

but your correct its a woman thing.

Yup, me too. I bought mine (in our old house) from B & Q and fitted it myself. It wasn't too hard to be honest.

...but having said that, my ethics have changed since then and I'd be more inclined to take Allan's Grandad's approach. Amazing what you can do with a bit of old timber.

Spending something like £5,000 on plastic coated chipboard doesn't strike me as a good idea any more.

If your current layout is ok, why don't you just get new doors and a worktop?
Save loads of cash on the framework...plus fitting would be a lot easier.

Makes me sound like a right old cheapskate?!
