    Remember the old maxim - "measure twice, cut once".
    You missed a bit out. Its "measure twice, cut once, except fingers".:D

    Pleased to have been able to brighten up your day. Anyway - enough of this banter I've got paperwork to do.

  • We fitted ours 18 months or so ago, its pretty straight forward.

    The only two issues we had were:

    1) the bloody walls were'nt square so where i'd measured a run of wall units (measuring infront of the existing units rather than the back of the walls) i had to chisel aload of plaster off to get the new units in.

    2) my wife insisted on keeping the kitchen usable so it meant the job dragged on and after every day / piece of work i had to clean up afterwards!
