Just seen this topic. The kitchen layout is similar to what I am looking for, especially the pantry, although I think our dimensions are one cupboard smaller in each direction so instead of a island we will have to have a breakfast bar. I think.

And whilst not changing the floor area, we are intending to change the roof from a flat roof extension to a sloping roof with roof lights to give the illusion of space.

Yours looks lovely, what are the worktops?

Probably a bit late now but did you consider these Link instead of the multiple sockets and aerial outlets?

The worktops look like Santa Margherita Lyskamm; lovely, we have them too.

The pantry door would look wrong if they went to the floor, as the bottom line would not match the rest of the kitchen.
Using a panel would be best, as that could be attached to the rear of the door, so still giving a step back to the plinth, although not as deep as the rest of the kitchen.
Plinth would need to be attached below the door, and would be flush.

The should be 2-4 mm of adjustment with the hinges, this is usually enough. If the gap is still too big, then the hinge plate could be packed out to give further adjustment. (not ideal).

The standard method of joining doors is to use jointing plates, see below.
or if your feel brave you could dowel them together

Great job toxic - you must be a very happy camper!

I LOVE the roof lantern - where did that come from? I feel I may want to use something like that on my next self build.

Can't believe people go through life consuming Stella Artois as their preferred choice of alcoholic beverage when there are thousands of better less piss tasting beers on the market.

Can you do some kind of plan / pic to put those pictures into context of the structure ?

If your roof tiles overhang, could water be running down and then under them and back into the building along the underside of the tile?
