Actually, that sounds pretty interesting!

We looked 'round a few places, but the one that we got really grabbed us and was exactly what we were looking for - Also ... they were plain white (didn't have that weird pattern) on the internal faces ... which sold it for me, lol

I think it sounds pretty boring, more importantly didn't look around properly but have you got a super sexy induction hob?


Plain white is much nicer, I also cant stand the patterns.


Found a use for the cellar yet?

[Bean]

Hell no! Lol! 7 burner gas hob ... with 2 gas ovens

Cellar ... I'm still trying to claim that as my own! Fancy it as a study/office!

[Down&Out]

Feck me, that must be the mother of all fridges. Its hooooooooge.

Liking it, though

[Bean]

Well... when asked 'what fridge do you want?' ... You just gotta!!

It'd be rude not to!

[Bean]

[Bean]

Aw damn ... If I knew you had that earlier ... lol!!

Thanks for the comment - We're dead pleased with it!

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Such a good day!!

Firstly, I decided last night that I had had enough of the paint on the outside wall ...

Plus, it was doing the brick & mortar work no good, as it had started to get a little damp and blister.

So, I decided to get to work and remove it! This is where I started!!



However, I soon realised that it's HUGE, lol


So - I only got this far, lol







However .. It was also because we had much more exciting things going on in the kitchen!

Firstly ... we turned the fridge on Oh my!






Secondly ... we started on the floor!


After cleaning up the concrete floor in the kitchen, K laid the DPM. It looks great - And it feels nice and level under-foot!!

Then, we started to lay the uber-expensive self adhesive underlay, for the wood floor ...






After working out the thickness of the wood & underlays combined, we made some minor adjustments to the door frames!!




(the reason we're having to do all of this work )




Perfect





And ... what does it look like....








AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You've no idea how much I love this floor!!!

I'm completely smitten!!


(It's only loose at the moment, it's not stuck to the floor - just so we can make sure we get it straight first!!! )

[GreaseMonkey]

That is some lovely flooring!!

[Bean]

It was worth the 140 mile round trip to get it ... with all 5 boxes (2.2m long) in a HR-V
