Tap water or bottled water?

Karen Baumgarten mentioned fluoride. That's a whole other beast of a topic. Working in the water industry, I'm keenly aware of this topic and am passionately against fluoridating tap water. Provide me clean, safe water at a reasonable price. Do no add medication of any kind thank you. If you are concerned about dental health, please support programs to educate the population about dental hygiene.

This is similar to Spur shelving - the weakness is on the hook that connects the underside of the shelf to the uprights. Personally with the amount of weight that you propose putting on shelves I would opt for something that has been drilled directly into the wall. I know the uprights are drilled, but it is the small bracket is the problem. The larger brackets drilled into the wall as per the photos from rickster88 is your best bet.

First plan for our renovation - please critique

Let me stop you there. We are not allowed to build a shed by the fence. Apparently, there is a rule that a certain percentage of your lot needs to be open (= garden or unused). We exceed that percentage anyhow, but fortunately we're not obliged to tear something down :-). I should tell you the background story of the house. It was originally planned as a wool warehouse. The huge storage area at the rear was intended for trucks. Our garden was the driveway. The wool store went bankrupt even before the building was finished (1966). In 1967 the local tax collector had it's office here, because the building of their new offices (across the street) was delayed. That explains the strange internal division within the house. After the tax man left, it was converted into a house (I think around 1970). It has been renovated at least twice, but never structurally. Last reno was done in 2009, by an elderly couple with a 100% different taste than ours. We bought it in 2010. It was at a bargain price for this location, certainly for such a big property. Nobody really knew what to do with it, I guess. But we saw potential. We tore up the driveway and made a garden there. But Jonathan's idea about softening the boundaries is brilliant. We really need to do that, probably after the renovation of the house. One thing I haven't mentioned and it's not really clear in the plan: in our pantry there is a stairway to the cellar. This somewhat limits what can be done there.

Personally, I'd go for a solid wood in at least 20mm thickness. Oak, ash and beech are all very inexpensive, harder wearing and more stable than pine (a softwood rather than hardwood) and, in my opinion, are far more attractive. 25-28mm thick worktop/shelve sections are very affordable, and if you plan carefully, you can get all your shelves out of 2,3 or 4m length with minimal waste. Generally come in a varity of widths from 600mm to 900mm plus, so pick based on the overall depth(s) of shelves you want, and cut down for multiple shelves. Have a look at Worktop Express for an idea on costs, though we can source the same products at cheaper, trade prices. An oak, ash or beech pantry will look heaps better than pine, last longer and probably add more value to your property. Caldicot Kitchens
