Default These quarry tiles are a bit chunky

Well, somewhat chunkier than I expected. Are they normally that thick (about
20mm)?

They do come up *very* easily with an SDS and a cranked wide chisel. Easier
than the bl**dy worktop came out - that was well and truely wedged between
the wall and the airing cupboard.

Generally 'twas a good day at the Bungalow - got 8 hours straight in today,
brought all the right tools down, no faffing. Got the rest of the kitchen
ripped out and saved the better cupboards for re-use somewhere else:

Bit in the middle is my new workbench

Love the original decor(!):

And curses to that gas pipe - right where a new wall is going. Didn't expect
it to meander round the left hand wall. Looks like I'll be getting into gas
a bit sooner than expected.

I have a gas question brewing, but I'm off the read the gas FAQ again, then
I'll ask it...

Cheers

Tim
