I'm stunned none of the Americans even noticed with washing machine in the kitchen...


Looks great, JD :)

I did, my old kitchen was the same way.

Not too odd on houses from that era. Makes sense to a degree as it's less water lines that needed to be run in a time I imagine copper was somewhat expensive.
Insert witty comment here.

Weren't closets considered rooms at one time, and you were taxed for each room, so houses didn't have closets.  Is that still the case.

Our house is worth about £250,000 and we bought it for £80,000 17 years ago - an increase of about £10,000pa. As an idea, if I was to sell, I'd be lucky if I probably couldn't even get a single room flat in London for that money.

Nice job JD!!!! Looks awesome!

We have the same issue with our house. Paid $167,000 for it 18 years ago and could sell it for $375,000 plus, but houses around my area are roughly $500,000 plus now a days  :(

Good to have you back, JD!  Nice job on the renovation; it really does look good.  O0

I'm impressed.  Very nice work.

Thank you.

All worktops/surfaces are now done...all corners clipped Bartheart  :DD









To do

  • Paint and fit window sill (me)
  • Buy and fit blinds (not me)
  • Buy and fit flooring (not me)
  • Buy and fit skirting board (me)
  • Buy and fit door beading (me)
  • Tough up paint (me)

Then it's done. It's been a loooong project but I'm confident that there's not enough life in me that I'll be seeing that getting done again  :bd:

We have the bathroom to be done this year (or possibly next) but I imagine we'll have a contractor in for it...I can't see me volunteering my time like that again. I believe in people doing things that they're trained to do. I do programming, someone else does plumbing  O0

I believe in clipping my kitchen counter corners! Sharps are rip for hip gouging.  ;)

Smart looking kitchen you got there. I do love the butcher block counter tops.  :bd:

The dog's just sad 'cos I shut the door to take the pictures and it's breakfast was on this side of the door  :-"
