Hi All,

The next big project is to replace our kitchen.


Homebase shelves are too thin and won't take heavy loading. Shelf
supports can be problematic. Upward folding doors are a pain as they
block access to the top of the cabinet and can't be reached by many
women. I've found Wickes and B & Q to produce solid cabinets at low
cost. I always tile kitchen surfaces, with a suitable non standard grout
mix on 1" WBP, they stay waterproof for 20 years and can take any hot
dish up to red heat! The only problem is the occasional cracked tile
when a cast iron pan is dropped on them (once every 12 years). Spare
tiles are convenient! Changing a sink outline is also easy, just a bit
of retiling/ply adjustment.
