Bobby's new build thread

[doctor Bob]

Got to love modern tech

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

If that is a cottage I'll eat anybody's hat. :shock:

 

[doctor Bob]

Got to keep the old name, I love it, just saying it reminds me of the magic roundabout, boing................

 

[owsnap]

Bob, I'm seriously Jealous!
Awesome work there...

 

[doctor Bob]

At last the bifolds have gone in, been driving me nuts that they have taken so long, plasterers, electricians, plumbers and decorators should now come back to finish off. Plasterers will do garden retaining wall as well, then the patio can be laid.

I find the following a very unfortunate juxtaposition:

1. Dr. Bob's " then the patio can be laid." comment,

followed by,

2. A photo of a toilet on the proposed patio...

:shock:

[doctor Bob]

Patio bog, all the rage. You'll all have one in a few years.

 

[SammyQ]

I meant, the METHOD of "laying" the patio?? :-"

Secondly, if you build a bar out there...will it have stools?

Doesn't even wait for hat, coat...just legs it...

Might have a poop deck.

Kitchens getting there

 

[ColeyS1]

Kitchens looking really smart.Those rounded corners on the island unit really make it look that extra bit special!

Hmmmm. ...

Not sure I'd have gone with the blue lino Bob. Or the lino fitter.
As an amateur you probably haven't noticed tbh but if you really study the pics very carefully you can see he's left a couple of minute gaps as it leads up to the units. I'm sorry to point out he's not laid it dead flat either. Sorry to point this out.
Luckily for you I happen to know how to remedy this at almost no cost.

Invite some suitably 'big -boned' mates round and dress them in at least 14 sweaters. Turn the central heating right up to for at least 2 hours (what we know in the trade as 'tempering the blue') Then get your 'chubbies' to roll in opposite directions. It's hard to explain to a non trades type like yourself but you'll soon pick up the technique as you go. Make sure to keep them moving rapidly for at least 30 minutes.
An electric cattle prod or a gat gun sometimes helps here. You can pick them up for a few quid on ebay.
And funny enough, that's where the traditional term 'housewarming' comes from. Oh the stuff you learn on websites is great isn't it?
No need to thank me. Just glad I could lend some advice. It's nice to be able to help some of the hobbyist types out now and then on here.

Other than that the kitchen looks alright doesn't it?
:wink:

Bob, what's the long narrow bit inset into the island above the hob?

Pop up power points I'm guessing

Downdraft extractor

I put the pipework in the floor before it got screed, so it extracts outside

How do you get the fat and crud out of the underfloor pipe?
