Wall looks thin though.

I'm in the process of moving radiators about so I need some insulation.  Wonder how good it is though?

I guess it all depends on its wall thickness.  If its thick, then it will be cheaper than the toolstation price, but, if its thin - well, may as well buy decent stuff from toolstation for a bit more cash!

I haven't - sorry - will go look in a bit!  Been so busy with plumbing water, drainage etc I've not really been on the computer much.

Got the carcasses and eye-height oven unit installed down one wall, just need to finish off some plumbing on the other then I'll be in worrying about worksurfaces mode!

EH! Can't you just stack it in the garden for a couple of months. No need to get on with it so quickly. ;D

The pile is slowly reducing in size as it goes in :)

Gas oven was installed today - looks good:

Get the units OUT of the garden, you only need a small amount of water to totally bugger'm up, trust me.

Understood - that chipboard loves to wick it up.

It's raining here a fair bit, but I've got two new tarps over it and so far everything has been OK.  Because of the rain I've had some time off work to get on with it, we're not far off getting the rest in.

Despite the tarps some of the units seem to have a layer of water hanging off the bottoms of them - perhaps condensation making it's way through the ground sheet?  So far no damage but we're well aware we're on limited time.

When we were younger and marginally better off we did the new kitchen thing, which works well because you know in advance where everything goes so can plan plumbing and wiring in advance before it arrives.  But with buying one off of eBay, it really was a case of see what we've got and working around it, so sadly it has to be stored somewhere and with the three kids space is a bit limited so garden it was...

Wodya mean no pace? you put the units in the kids' bedrooms and put the kids in the cupboards.

You modern parents, far to soft, you treat your offspring as if they're something precious.
