Down light on the left wants moving so it's central to the cabinet about 300mm off the front. Just my humble two pence.

Any pics or a thread for your place?

I've got loads of pics but not done a thread. One of your pics reminded me of my temp kitchen sink lash up



That's now a family room, new kitchen :-




We extended on quite a few elevations, original :-



Now :- (has porch on front now, can't find that pic!)

Down light positioning is a bh! You can't always get them in the ideal location, joists, pipes etc etc.

Looks like a lot of work, bit jealous of all the extra room you've got!

Unfortunately the lights were put in months ago when all the ceilings were skimmed, I won't be making any changes to those positions any time soon, besides the lights in the kitchen and diner line up so it would mean moving too many but thanks for the OCD trigger I hadn't noticed that will probably bug me from now on

Couple more pics from last night you can see in this pic that we are missing a handle for the washing machine door front right, but this will arrive today.




Pretty chuffed with how it looks really but then living in a building site for so long I guess anything would look better!

Looks great The good thing about living in a building site is when you do start getting it back together it feels so much better

Are you all finished now?

3rd bedroom along with the hall, stairs and landing still need doing but we are on the home straight now

Any updates?

[Rutter]

Bathroom is done now so here are a few pics, the wife would go mental if she knew i was posting pics in this state of cleanliness...

Before:


Now:






We have had new flooring put in from the hallway through to the kitchen diner and done all the whitewood along with the walls painted white, just waiting on new carpet for the stairs and landing.

Don't really have a before picture for here but this is what its like currently:



Still a fair more jobs to sort out but the back is broken now.

New carpet being fitted to the stairs and landing today.
