The new kitchen

[Muggins]

I'm with you here. Had our kitchen done recently - a few hiccups but nothing major. Guy who deconstructed the aga (was in the house when we moved in) thought it would be a good idea to leave the gas supply pipe sticking through the plinth after he'd capped it, cos obviously we wanted 3 inches of copper pipe sticking out at ankle height. Needed it sorted before the new units went in so had to try someone else.

Same thing happened to me mate. Knocked a wall through, found a capped gas pipe about 5 inches high.

My face.

That's a lot worse. At least I knew the pipe was there, I was just expecting him to cut it back. There would have been a lot more than the wall knocked through if you'd ruptured that pipe.

I know mate, it was brown trousers time.

I'm wondering if any pros out there could do a risk assessment on my use of shims here while some glue dries.

As long as nobody opens it before its ready - not a problem.

I don't see them as knives, they're tools, used in this case as thin strong metal wedges.
Edit; with handles for ease of use and removal.

Kinell! In all seriousness just half an hour later I just had to leap out of the way of a hail of knives while reaching into that cupboard for a pack of crisps! ?

This is why we gave H&S at work kids!!

Have you had a moment of charity yet Chris? by which I mean you knock the ton of dust off the piano and decide to donate it to a nearby school?

 

[chrismpw]

What flavour?

Cheese* dorito.

*nothing like this actually tastes of cheese anymore. I hate the modern world.

Advertised.....

Had a query this morning...
"Is it still available?"
"Yes it is"
"Thank you."

I think that's all they wanted to know.

They're sharp as well, not quite kettle chips razors but that end of the spectrum. What I'm finding is that very slowly the packet crisps come in is starting to out weigh the contents. Yes the modern world is hateful, and then some. If I was a real leader of people I'd be championing a blacklisting of cadbury's for a week/month via twitter and hurting the shrinkflation fatcat capitalists in their wallet for a change, for instance, but as I'm a fat and twisted and old and stubborn fool I'll just sit off and take the pish.
Anyway, pre lunch snacking, wait, shes in the boat, your cooking for you... crisps already mate? you've only been left to your own devices a couple of days... you're not going to pieces already are you?

Did you recognise the voice? Was it someone in her sewing circle? (or book club) Wily when they want to be.
