Kitchen layout problem
Comments (17)Hi Guys - thank you all. I just got CAD email from new designers (see below). I guess this is going to be the best compromise. Shelley - The yellow brick wall room is a pantry accessed by the narrow (24") beige door that you see. The plan is to remove the beige door and brick it up, then make a 26" wide access through the yellow brick wall. When the new internal door is fitted (where red floor changes to blue) this will section off a kind of porch/utility room between the kitchen and back door (glass door thru which you can see a handrail). It will house the washing machine on the pantry side and tumble dryer opposite, below the boiler. New Plan - nice but no fridge above worktop height or coffee bar for chats. I'll have to talk to friends thru the archway I guess, but no problem. I don't need that much storage space so might replace a cupboard with a freezer. Lefty - good idea but Ikea are 53 miles away (1hr 40min) and I doubt they'd knock walls down etc. What do you think, guys? Half glazed door to section off the porch? Anyone got a suggestion for lighting? Shall I get low wattage recessed ceiling spots? Should I put two 14" doors thru to the lounge or just leave it an open archway? :-)...See MoreWhat are your biggest Interior Design problems?

Comments (19)Thank you for your comments. The article you posted was really interesting and pretty much sums up what is going on with the house. The downstairs floor are concrete and blackjacked as they have obviously taken up the flags, They are also uneven so will have to get taken up to level out. I'm hoping there isn't 10 inches of concrete but even so it's going to be difficult to take out. This has pushed water into the walls, so they then blackjacked the bottoms of those and this has pushed the water higher. If only any of this was present when I bought the house I won't have bought it. The builder they recommended that had done all the works was supposed to be a member of the Federation of Master Builders, but I remember looking him up when problems first started arising and he wasn't listed. We have started stripped all the plaster from the external wall and the room is starting to get drier already. The walls are no longer sweating. I'm trying to work out what is under the blackjack. It doesn't look like plaster and I'm wondering it they have put some sort of cement based render on the stonework. Either way it's all going to have to be done correctly now. Bye Bye Bank Account :-(...See MoreToilet - how to force closing lid before flushing
Comments (14)If you use a Geberit (very popular) cistern, 82cm, then the toilet seat covers the flushplate therefore meaning you have to shut to flush! 82cm cistern, seat covers plate, perfect 98cm cistern, seat hits plate, well annoying 112cm cistern seat misses plate, kids can't reach. Simon - I sold intanks a lot, I was thinking there would be copies cheaper and better but it does work, rarely fails but costs £2500 I believe. Only useful if you have a solid wall and downwards soilstack. Otherwise get a slim frame and stud out with a Vitra or Catalano short proj pan....See MoreMia Tur
