A nice little video put together. Thought some might enjoy https://vimeo.com/126545288 Cheers Mark

Hey Random, Yeah I was thinking of splitting the difference by 15mm each side. However I may be able to plug the gap as the carcases and doors going to be used are a flat white high gloss (the typical modern white look) Cheers Mark

Hey, Yes that may help. Find attached a video of a fly by on it (should be able to see gaps) https://youtu.be/iuwd3_KukfI top down of the design Cheers Mark

Hey ghengis, I was thinking of basaclly adding a 15 mm "shim" on either side to close the gap up, is that what you recommend? My sister don't really have the funds to build up one of the walls, first house and all Cheers Mark

what about with the wall cabinets as Im just designing it out now and noticed it has the same 15mm gap either side. would I just pade out the wall cabinets 15mm to minimise the gap Cheers Mark

Hi All, My sister is moving into a new house and needs a new kitchen. I went around and measured it up and with the size of one wall she wants 2 corner units on it. After these are on, there is a 430mm gap. From the looks of it the carcasses she is getting from have a width of 400mm or 450mm...

Hey Chris, thanks for the pics. They explained it spot on Mark

Hey Chrispy, Just re-read post and saw you stated flush hinges. How did you hide the hinge as I cannot see it on the pick or is it slightly visible? Cheers Mark

Hey Chrispy, Yeah that is what im looking to achieve very nice finish and looks so much cleaner. What type of hinge did you use on the doors? Thanks for the tips Rod, I will re-hang the doors and hopefully that will correct the issue. Cheers Mark

Hi Chrispy, A picture would be great to have a bit of a look at. It just makes it so much nicer as previously it was so busy and all the architrave have basically torn off from one another where they were glued to each other. typical council house build bodge job really. a shot of it so far...

Hi Both, Well I'm hoping when the lining paper goes over it, it will hide any cracking that may occur but If it is a problem in a a few months I will just re-trim it with some thin stock to at least look less busy on the wall. Rod, see the image below hopefully it explains first issue is door...

Hi All, Decorating the bedroom where we have a couple doors (a small storage cupboard and the airing cupboard) and the misses wants a nice flat look across the wall. So I have stripped all the trim off from around the doors (already looking less busy and much nicer) and started to filler the...

i used 6mm thick acrylic sheet. it works a treat for a router table insert. I also got a router table from aldi. Used it in there for a bit but not all that for what I needed but for the parts I took off to put on my own it did save me a bit of money.

Just to add that you dont need to go out and buy a whole sheet of MDF just go to your local DIY shed that has a cutting service and ask if they have any MDF off cuts (obviously just get sizes that fit your needs) they will be cheap usually. Alternatively go to your local timber merchant and...

Sounds exciting bob, Something that I would like to do in the future really. Have you thought about prefab houses or a timber framed house. Could allow the construction to go up a bit faster as well. We are in the process of buying a property at the moment and im hoping to put in for planning...

Hey All, Thought i would let you all know worth popping into ALDI this week they have a 3HP compressor for £170 with a 3 year warranty and some air tools and some other decorating bits and paints https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thur-5-mar/ Going to be getting the compressor at the...

fencing/some sort of gate?

I have started to notice that Toolstation is starting to get a few more name brands now though.

Good point I will ask if they will come back and sign off or if I need someone else to sign off. Cheers Mark
