We still have the original square panel solid oak(with patina) doors that i sourced 21yrs ago,i put the foot down and told the missus that there's no fukin way those doors are getting painted....and they won't.....ever,the sitting room is like a fukin ikea showroom with that scandi 70's look...or whatever....the kitchen countertop still hasn't been changed!!

Yeah, I learnt that one a couple of decades back. That's what separates us from the immigrants, an ability to learn from our mistakes! I learnt another one today... wear gloves when you're adjusting the plastic legs under the cabinets!

You showed promise then, it's a pity you didn't go to Anco and get qualified. You'd have the trade for life ?

Finished putting the bottom of the kitchen back together... not a bad job but not perfect by any means. However, I says to Mrs. Catcher isn't that better than a new kitchen sorta tongue in cheek... in all seriousness she agrees and says it's a great job... didn't even have to resort to telling her how many trees she's saved anall #treeslivesmatter!

Only the top half and the counter to tackle after me little staycation.

I get the feeling Mrs Catchers reply was more sarcasm.
