Jim'll Fix It! Eastbourne Handyman Extraordinaire!
Now including Computer Help

Over the coming weeks I'm building a kitchen for a family member. Because of work commitments it can only be done on the weekends; it's not a bog standard MFI/Howdens/Magnet modular kitchen; it's made entirely from sheet MDF to her specifications. It's a lot of work , but it's going to be great fun nonetheless.
Good Friday was spent ripping out some of the old kitchen, and preparing to build a complete floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall larder unit. By Easter Monday the unit was already in use.
To maximise storage the larder cupboards have been made a full 2' deep; the unit is 7'9" tall by 8' wide; the kickboards incorporate fully extending drawers; fridge and freezer are housed on a raised platform. When all of the kitchen units are finished (over the next 3-4 weekends) they are to be painted in eggshell with sage green fonts (not by me I hasten to add.). Because the carcasses and door fronts are non-standard sizes, everything is to be made on site.
