Kitchen resto !

With the help of this beast


I did this


Then realised it was in wrong place so did it again


For cooker hood ducting.
Cowabunga

 

At least I have a convenient shaped core of masonry to fill the hole!
My forearms hurt now but I didn't break any wrists! No fun when it catches and you're balancing on top of a ladder!

 

A mate of mine gave himself a shiner doing this exact same job with an SDS

 

They dont half hurt when the snag and hit you in the chops

 

Wally! I thought about using my sds and buying a diamond core, but I can hire the proper drill and the diamond core for less than the price of a core, no brainer

 

I wish i could do that

Im the sort that buys the tool as it will help me out on another job down the line

 

I had to drill two round holes in the decking for the swimming pool ladders ,put the ladder in and the holes were to far away,that`s why I laughed...

 

That's what I normally do but in this case the costs are daft!

Hehe glad its not just me then!

 

Get some conduit on that wiring!

 

Interesting day was Saturday. I blame lack of sleep for my mistakes. First I drilled through a leccy cable so then had to spend an hour repairing it. Then I decided to crack on with a worktop with my new router, foregoing a practise run......

Hmmm nice inch long gouge in my worktop. Suppose it was better the worktop than my arm.

 

Went back to original plan of led downlights so got them fitted. Just normal downlights with gu10 led bulbs

Cooker hood fitted up


Ducting roughed up




That'll be boxed in eventually. Just need to wire the hood into the isolator switch

 

Had my boys bedroom floor up again to do lights yesterday, then today realise I can't find my work light, looked everywhere but nope. So up came the floor again tonight to see if I left it there. No sign. Really peed off so go to kitchen get a cider, sigh and look up for inspiration, and there's my sodding light on top of a wall unit! I've spent all day up a ladder in the kitchen and didn't see it grrr

 

not finished yet ? this is one cut with a jigsaw this week

 

You really do that top with a jigsaw @kenregency ?

Looks pretty good from here!

 

have you used that bad boy yet?

 

much easier than my roughter

 

do not look at this boiler the lady did not allow for a cupboard , shame

 

also she got 400 cupboards instead of 300 either side of hob

 

Got a new collet through which sorted the problem, had a brief go and made a mistake
Have another go this week.

Shame about that boiler, glad I got rid of mine
