I got my kitchen unit level ...

... but then realised that I'd need a 170 mm plinth to fill in the gap where I'd wound all the legs out to max and stood them on planks.

Never mind, 4 hours before I might want to eat something.

Takeaway?

[spuorgelgoog]

Had to take them all out anyway - forgot to put the hot water pipe to the sink in ;-(

Arrrghh....

[ARW]

There is nothing wrong with doing that.

When I replumbed the house I deliberately didn't connect to the taps on the bath. I hadn't used them in years and it's a good excuse not to do any washing up.

In message , PeterC writes

You do your washing up in the bath? Where do you keep the coal?

[Brian Gaff]

This sounds like the inverse of the trying to make a four legged stool not wobble. Brian

[Brian Gaff]

You know what in my kitchen there is no such thing as level, as whoever built the house had a new way of defining straight. Brian

I can touch my kitchen ceiling at on end of the kitchen when stood on my toes, at the other end of the kitchen I need to stand on something to touch the ceiling.

[JoeJoe]

Sheet of paper?

[spuorgelgoog]

toes of an apprentice?

I've realised I have to bring the wall units down lower than I intended otherwise they'll smash the ceiling lights every time I open the door.

I can see why people pay professionals to make mistakes for them.

Nah - swimming pool in the kitchen - a bit like the one in the Sun last year - only Adam's has got a deep end and a shallow end.

Speaking of which is anybody watching Climbing the Property Ladder on 5?

The sheer ineptitude of some of the participants is worrying.

[Max Demian]

I think that's rather the point of the programme.

[Dave Liquorice]

Is the gap above standard plinth visible? The toe space overhang hides a multitude of sins...

[spuorgelgoog]

... and then I was preparing the taps for fitting in the sink.

Dropped one.

It landed pipe end down and punched a neat circular hole in the new floor.

Never mind, I can probably put a mat over that bit.
