Another skip job

[George]

A pack and a half of wide stone effect laminate retrieved from a local skip.

That'll do nicely for me kitchen sir. ;-)

Are you from Glasgow by any chance? I skipped this at the weekend!

I did my kitchen with it and had a few bits left-over...hadn't accounted for the fact that once the units were in place, the laminate didn't have to go all the way back to the wall.

Mark.

Feck no,its a bit far to go rooting in skips. ;-)

[George]

I think you should have gone all the way to the wall...some kitchens units stand proud of the floor on colum legs. ;-)

In Drumchapel it wouldn't have hit the bottom. Gives a whole new meaning to "re-cycling" tho'. ;-)

[Pete Verdon]

Also what happens when replacing the units? My kitchen is a bit naff (I think it was put together from bits being taken out of another one!) but one of the reasons I'm not going to be sorting it soon is that in many places the tiles only go up to the fronts of the units - so I'd have to either match the tiles (impossible - I tried for a repair) or replace the lot.

Is this another deep fried pizza place? Is Michael Martin a customer?

"As part of the overspill policy of Glasgow Corporation, a huge housing estate was built here in the 1950s to house 34,000 people - it is this estate that is now most associated with Drumchapel, despite there being an area known as Old Drumchapel made up of affluent villas to the south of modern Drumchapel. The area has well-known social problems, notably anti-social behaviour and degeneration of often poorly constructed post-war housing. However, it remains popular with many of its residents " [wikipedia]
