Cheers Peck. I was initially torn. On the one hand I really wanted a new kitchen as my existing one looked bloody awful. On the other, I saw it as an expensive and inconvenient operation. But a visit to a colleague's house, where the kitchen was smart and immaculate, kind of embarrassed me into action. There was no way I could, without shame, have returned the invitation.
Now it's finished, I'm very pleased I got it done.
Good luck with your bathroom conversion to a wet room. Bathrooms aren't as expensive, as a rule.
