Shortly before I was nominated to install the new IKEA
![]() a 1902 style (ie wonky walls and floor) house. "Well it would be expensive, but we could save quite a bit of cash if you did it." Of course after paying for tools and working out how many hours i'd spent on the kitchen the original all in quote of 1200 (make units / install / full replaster / move plumbing) was a fking bargain. I spent 6 months on that kitchen (most of it got finished in the first 4 weeks :P) |
