    The bricks/brickwork looks amazing 👍

    Great stuff. I think I'd personally gone for metal switches and sockets not plastic, but that's personal taste I guess.

    Great work Darren. Top tip, once the desired depth is reached with a Forstner bit, knock the drill into reverse, apply a little bit force and it'll clean up nicely.

    Some work done today Darren and looking good. A couple of sockets could have had USB plugs in them for charging things like radio/phone etc but just an idea. Cheers and stay well.

    Awesome work as per usual. 👌One thing I noticed is there seems to be a bit of a gap in between the under cooker cabinets and the left hand cabinets. Not sure if its an optical illusion or not. 🤔

    1:50 All of those sockets in the corner of the kitchen look awful. They spoil what is a really nice kitchen. I would have hidden the spurs in the back of a unit and who really needs 4 double sockets in one corner? Other than that I think the everything looks great! Top job as always!

    • @peterwest7855
      @peterwest7855 Рік тому

      You can't have enough sockets in a practical kitchen. When you are restricted by the zone around the sink they are difficult to place. I think the 8 provided in a discrete corner under the corner cabinet was a very good solution. I might be wrong but I thought regs state that all sockets located behind appliances have to be switched from above the worktop level. e.g. hob, dishwasher, tumble drier, washing machine, oven. Back to sockets at worktop level; the number of mains kitchen appliances most people have is significant (Radio, phone/tablet chargers, smart hubs, toasters, coffee grinder, coffee maker, hand blender, stand mixer, bread maker, blender, food processor, sandwich maker, George Formby grill, air fryer, induction hub, kettle, etc.). I have plenty of socket outlets but still have two extra 4 way extension cords connected.

    Why don't you just flip the door around instead of drilling new holes for the hinges?

      @Build and repair and restore you mentioned you were going to plug the holes on the washing machine door. How would you do that as not shown in the vid? It wouldn't be totally necessary right as it would mostly be unseen. However I get it if you want a complete look.

      @@shoudd hi Shay, it’s very simple. There are white round plans if pieces that insert into the holes.
