Saturday 23rd July<\/h3>\n

I started the day by applying a coat of spirit based undercoat to the skirting and architrave in the cinema room.<\/p>\n

I then decided to start building the cupboards, this is the pile of boxes that was delivered on the 21st:<\/p>\n

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

Moved the Freezer out of the room to make a little space<\/p>\n

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

Built the base units and roughly placed them in position<\/p>\n

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

built the wall cabinets and prodeeded to hang them on the wall.<\/p>\n

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

The cupboards are level, horizontally in these pictures – the ceiling slopes, as the plasterboard was attached directly to the rafters which in turn allow for run-off on the roof.<\/p>\n

Doors attached<\/p>\n

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

Handles attached<\/p>\n

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

Sunday 24th July<\/h3>\n

i remembered that I had only levelled the cupboards horizontally, to I also levelled them vertically, as I had left them slightly skew the previous evening.<\/p>\n

Once happy that the cupboards were square, I cut some filler pieces for either end of the run of cupboards and fitted the pelmet piece below the cupboards.<\/p>\n

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

I then fitted the lighting under the cupboards – they are still not wired in at this point.<\/p>\n

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

Next job was to tidy up the cables and pipes, I did not have any 15mm pipe fixings, so I used a couple of 22mm fittings and sleeved the pipes with small sections of 22mm pipe.<\/p>\n

I shortened the steel wired armoured (SWA) cable and attached the junction box to the wall<\/p>\n

Next I cut a hole in the wall for the sockets intended for the washing machine and tumble dryer and ran the cables up the wall, then fitted the socket.<\/p>\n

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

The other sockets will be chained from this socket on a radial circuit using 4mm twin and earth cable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
