Bobby's new build thread

This is looking great =D>

Big balls up on Friday, tilers worked late till about 9pm, went up when they had left and the tiles were 2 different colours.
So they had to all come up the next day, luckily they came off all right without damaging the underfloor heating.
Tile suppliers have agreed the tiles are 2 colours, hopefully we can do a straight swap for an alternative, even though the originals are destroyed.

Spend all day Saturday cleaning off adhesive on the floor

I'll be out of pocket whatever but I just want to get it sorted and move on

That could of been worse.

Do they still put batch numbers on tile boxes these days? Genuine question.

 

[doctor Bob]

yes, they were all the same batch number.

Hi Bob, good luck with the move, i did my own project management on our house, but i had some experience before with work. you will need to be very organised and have all your contractors and supplyers in place to keep everything flowing. don`t try and do all the work yourself, it won`t happen, keep to what you think you can do comfortably and farm the rest out.Make no mistake it`s hard work but very rewarding, i look forward to following your progress. good. Karl

sorry about the above post, methinks my mince pies are going, i didn`t see there were other pages. but read through all of them now, it looks great, bet you can not wait to get in. good luck. Karl.

Still a bit to do, bifold doors should be fitted in about 10 days time. Ground source heat pump needs to be done scheduled for start in a weeks time.
So my guess is about mid september.

 

[doctor Bob]

Few images of the fit.

Frame has an internal chamfer (about 5mm), shaker door with a chamfer on the top and bottom rail (helps with keeping dust off)
I've put a sprayed colour on it, purbeck stone and moles breath for the island but it will be hand painted at the end.
Island is 2.8m x 1.2m. with a slimline induction hob and downdraft extractor in the central drawer pack.
One side of this are 2 walnut trays and the other side is a pullout bottle rack to match the trays.

The kneehole needs to have quadrant posts on the inside to balance it (be sorted on Monday)

Between the window and the oven housings will be a worktop mounted bifold unit.

There is still a big bank of walnut furniture to go in (4m run with a large built in steel fridge)

It's a simple kitchen, very practical.

Looking good Bob.

I've spent most of my working career building stuff like this for customers, doubt I'll ever get the chance to do my own :-(

It's great to come home and see progress each day. The whole process carries some stress but it is fantastic to be able to put your ideas into place.
I need to get the utility in place by wednesday as they are granite templating then.

 

[doctor Bob]

Kitchen just about in. Fridge arrives next week it's fully fitted with a stainless steel surround kit.
Few end panels to go on, and a big bifold unit to sit on top of the stone once it's fitted
Granite should be fitted end of next week

Some of the walnut just needs a stain over it to blend it in.

This is the top box, I had it laser cut as it just looks a bit sharper

 

[Paul Chapman]

All looking very nice, Bob.

Cheers :wink:
