Saturday 3rd September<\/h3>\n
First job of the day was to fit the end panel, this just needed about 10mm removing from the bottom edge, and then a cut-out for the washing machine pipes and plug that will also be used by the tumble dryer plug.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Next up was the plinths, I cut the first piece to length and screwed the leg clips on, then attached the plinth edging and pushed into place.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second piece was simply the leftover part from the 3m length of plinth, I attached the only leg clip that would actually meet a leg, then drilled down through the base of the sink cabinet into the top of the plinth to hold it in place.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Above is the finished result.<\/p>\n

Rain then pretty much stopped play for the day.<\/p>\n

Sunday 4th September
Skirting and architrave today.<\/p>\n

After taking a quick trip to my local Selco Builders Warehouse for a few more pieces of skirting, I then cut all of the piece to length on my compound mitre saw and nailed them into place.<\/p>\n

Back wall.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Outside doorway.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Door to cinema room.<\/p>\n

All that is left to do now is the priming and painting of the wood and fitting a tap for the sink.<\/p>\n

I am still in discussions with the worktop supplier as the worktop I purchased has split.<\/p>\n

Since this has happened along a factory glue joint, near two factory cut edges that I have not touched, I fail to see how this could possibly be my fault.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Here you can see that it is about 2mm wide<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

and in excess of 20-25mm long.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon, although I am not looking forward to removing the current worktop as removing the up-stands will probably remove chunks of plaster from the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
