DIY skills have vanished over the last generation (25 years or so).
Very few people under 50 can do any DIY, and as for installing a
kitchen, I think that's probably out of scope for 99% who still
do actually do DIY. Sad...

It is. I have put in two kitchens and two bathrooms in the past, but
would likely not do it again, partly due to age. Next "big" project;
air conditioning in our bedroom.


4 kitchens 5 bathrooms

2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms (and helped with several others).

Jesus, a DIY dicksize contest.

Not sure I can remember them all, which is possibly more worrying...

I think its 6 kitchens, and by the time I have done the bathrooms I am
doing now, it will be about 9 bathrooms (where one of those is the sum
of many bits of ones I have done for others)

Seems you've lost & drawn attention to the fact! :-D

Don't you tend to have 3 or 4 of something (say, pop-up wastes) left and
no taps? I know I seem to have a lot of duplication in my "plumbing odds
and sods" box.

Kind of, but I keep enough stock of basic plumbing bits that I can do
most smaller jobs from stock. Same goes for electrical accessories.

Having said that I have had a pair of WC connectors sat in a drawer for
many years, but finally found a use for one the other day - so now the
one I bought which turned out to be to short can go back in the drawer
to replace it ;-)
