SWMBO has asked that if I don't get the new job i'm going for (which
would mean a major move south) we can do the kitchen in our existing
house next summer.

She's seen something on the Aga website that she likes - but I'm
fecked if I've seen it anywhere before.

Anyone know who makes this - or anything even remotely like it

http://www.agalinks.co.uk/Addressbook_93.htm

It's the cram thick set shaker style one with the doors *inside* the
carcases - not on the top of.

I'm expecting you'll all say - that's hand built mate - in which case
she can start looking again

Cheers
Dan.

Try contacting Aga, Dan. They are very helpful and should be able to
give you the info.

I'm fairly sure you're right about handbuilt, though.

You could get her the Aga instead :-)

My kitchen has doors in the frame, rather than lay-on. I think the doors
are by a company called Phoenix Kitchens or something like that - I
don't think they're online.

It wasn't really any more expensive to have doors like this.

She got this huge pack of stuff thru from Aga and said "don't worry -

It looks very much like the Artisan kitchen from John Lewis of Hungerford.

Nah. They're only around six, although maybe a bit more with flue.

I couldn't see anything on there that looked like an in-frame door - was
there a picture you were referring to in particular?

Extremely jeleaous (said he sitting in an air conditioned cocoon). Not sure
it is an Artisan now tho'. As Neil points out the artisan has
"conventional" (in a modern sense) style doors with hidden hinges.

I have two dogs who are almost magnetically attracted to heat. I'd
love one - but know that the closest I'd manage to get to it would be
about 3ft away as they'd stretch out in front......(weimaraners before
anyone asks "how" to 3ft).

And don't ask how much the "aga" fridge/freezer are....

You would be in trouble - even with the 4 oven.

I hadn't seen weimaraners before. THey appear to be like svelte
labradors with a short tail. If the behaviour is anything like a
labrador, you can definitely forget coming between them and the heat.


And don't ask how much the "aga" fridge/freezer are....

Haven't looked. £3k?

I lived in a house with a w~ once. Lovely dog apart from the facts that it

a. was oversize for the breed
b. was doubly incontinent
c. smelled
d. had the intelligence of a lobotomised amoeba on lithium
e. thought he was cute and cuddly and belonged on people's laps
f. bit the cleaner[1]

Do they have to have the Aga man in every six months to defrost
them?

Blimey. Even with an electric stove on the side,mine was only 6 grand..

Taller and less wide than the labrador. When at "working weight" able
to give a greyhound a good run for it's money. We've got one with a
long tail (aka the table clearer) and one docked. Either way - you
don't move them when they are settled - which would always be next to
the heat - they weigh 75kg between them....lovely dogs - pity about
the heat problem tho ;-)

You'd have enough change from that for a decent washing machine. I
think the sheet said £2500 each.....damn - that'd better go out and
find vegetables and freeze them itself for that money...

You're welcome. However, I may have misled you slightly on the cost. I
dug out the quote we had from the kitchen installer from June 2001 and
the in-frame doors worked out as an extra £50 per door, + VAT.

Hope this doesn't put you off too much - I really like the style of an
in-frame door vs lay-on.

£50 *per door* - for £50 per door I could buy the tools and make the
damn thing myself! Hmmm - will have to ponder a bit I think. We
don't actaully need that many cabinets - but SWMBO will be designing -
I'll just be saying - give me an extra 4 inches there for pipes etc
etc.

Realised last night that this will be the perfect arrangemetn (the way
we will *have* to do the kitchen) to pull all the power for under
cabinet lights/new sockets etc in a relatively easy way - so although
it will take a time to do - everything will be hidden. Whoo - that's
so much nicer.

Cheers
