Except that there is no service channel, making them about 10 times

Didnt think this was a problem, i had to reroute all my pipe work
along the
floor and as this was the 1st time i did plumbing it was a breeze.

You had to reroute water pipes? That sounds daunting to a DIY newbie

I would have thought the "refurb" job -- replacing doors & worktop --
to be the easiest. That's what I am thinking of doing for my first ever
kitchen units job.
