Tales from the kitchen, an MFI screw, and a crap joke!
Had a go at fitting my own kitchen over the weekend, only incident was
managing to reduce my finger by a couple of mill as I sliced it when the old stainless sink slid sideways as I pulled it out. Should probably check date of last tit'n'ass jab. Interesting to see the MFI definition of a screw - a self-tapper it ain't! http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1.../mfi_screw.jpg Final thought - standard kitchen supplied by MFI is Hygena, but I actually ordered a Hyena Kitchen - well, when you're hungry, it keeps the wolf from the door..... |

Super-Fast ArgosI flatpack nonsense (was Tales from the kitchen, an MFI screw, and a crap joke!)
To follow up one tedious post with something even more tedious, I
decided to make a video for my own amusement or me struggling to build a £29 Argos flatpack wardrobe... The tape ran out and I couldn't be bothered to find another, so you don't get to see the finished thing, which is probably a relief. But anyway... http://digitaltoast.co.uk/files/flatpack.wmv The file is 20Mb wmv, so you need broadband, sound, and really nothing better to do... Actually, seeing as it was a "one-shot-at-it-cos-I-don't-have-time-for-this" bit of editing, it's not as bad as it might have been. Better than "Pearl Harbor" at any rate....

Actually, forget what I just said - I'm truly sad: I've just WATCHED it. FFS... :-) Dave |
