Reminds me of when we did a makeover on me late mums kitchen. Shed had had some sort of cupboard thing with louvre doors installed to hang damp towels in, over some hot pipes. She wanted it to stay.
I spent 60% of the time bodging in bits of false walling to connect in neatly with the new kitchen bits.
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.
His wife is horrified when the builders are about to throw out some stone slabs. So she tells them to put them in a downstairs cupboard, add a sink and she can use it for preparing cut flowers. She is satisfied with being thrifty and not wasting good flooring material. He gets a bill for reorienting the stairs, strengthening the floor to take the weight and the ground works needed to run drains to that side of the house.
Sod it
Do I buy
Yyyyyyeap A good oldie.
The Makita is the mutts nuts.
Would a narrow dishwasher not have fitted? 45cm wide, iirc.
At that price its a no brainer:)...
You've sacked the apprentice responsible, right? ;-)
Seriously, I had a different appliance dimension problem earlier this year. We replaced the washer-dryer with one with the same depth --- as measured between the proudest parts of the front & back --- but the new one had the bumps on the back in different places, so it wouldn't go back as far because of the waste pipes. I ended up swapping the washer-dryer with the dishwasher in order to get the oven open.
Which is even more surprising because it is a gas cooker...
Get an induction hob.
I have indeed fixed the problem. Some bird opposite me has a similar cooker to my "new" one but her cooker is only 550mm wide and it is sat in a 600mm gap.
We are going to swap cookers. Of course I will need to buy a new oven element for her cooker. And before anyone makes a rude comment the blown oven element is why I was at her house and I was not there to fill her 50mm gap.
Boasting again, Adam...!
Woke up one morning feeling something scratchy on my foot, turned out a spring had found its way through the mattress.
Ah, the opportunity to go for a king size bed says STWNFI.
Of course king size beds need king size duvets, and multiple sets of new linen. New linen didn't go with the curtains, new curtains led to new bedside cabinets, and table lamps.
Bloody expensive scratched foot that was!
Me, I would probably have just turned the old mattress over...

One and a half bowl sink...
After 3 kids it probably would not touch the sides.
And she is too young for me.
Could have been worse. The last time I found something scratchy on my foot I went to the VD clinic.
Well that was the problem - you didn't turn the mattress over regularly, nor turn it round alternative months.
Oh, I don't know. My wife has had three kids and it's had no effect - the first two were by emergency sections though and the third elective ;)
Most men's dream!

They'd just leave a weight on it. You need a light and a button, the button must be pressed and released within 5 seconds of the light illuminating to keep the cooker on :)
