I've been told that its cheaper to fit a completely new kitchen if I buy the full units from a trade company than just replace the doors from a company such as B&Q. Is this right? I thought just doors would be cheaper....
Answer
Doors are expensive. They know that a lot of people will just change doors to give their kitchen a new look so are outrageously priced to suit.
The base units (Carcas) are not too cheap either.
I'm sure you could get the basics cheaper from trade than a full set of doors from B&Q. You need to shop around. Like I will soon too. Last time I bought a kitchen, I found the exact same kitchen in a "Trade DIY" store and also in Focus DIY. The brochures had the same picture, but one was literally reversed!
The Focus price was 10% cheaper, but the worktops in Focus were crap. We bought the worktops from the trade place because they had a vast range, and also cut the "Scribe joint" for about £25 including the three barrel/pull nuts for the join. Go for the scribe joint, the olde worlde style jointing plates look crap once you've seen the worktop joined properly with a pre-cut scribe joint.
BTW, not a kitchen fitter but fitted 4, 5th coming up 2007 late.

Has anyone ever used a picnic set and would you recommend getting one?
dnrally
I am looking into buying a picnic set so I can use it for car camping. I am trying to decide if it is worth it or should I just pack a bunch of my own and put it in a sack. I like the idea of having a carrier, of keeping all the cutlery and stuff in one place, and I like having all that set aside just for camping.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Answer
Looks nice at Henley with a straw boater....Luton Boater I should say....and a nice tartan or gingham cloth on the ground.
Otherwise just pack you own stuff. It's a lot more convenient, a lot cheaper, and you pack what you want instead of taking everything with you every time.
There's good kit around for outdoor eating. Far removed from the days of enamel mugs and plates, and good enough to use at home.
Lovely stuff around now.
Nice designs and lots of choice, so just get what you need or want.
I've been camping, walking and cycling, most of my life but for visiting my family we go on differently.
Luxury stuff. In a car....hehe.
We do a lot of long car trips all over UK, and to be quite honest a decent cardboard box or a couple of carrier bags does a better job than a wicker basket. You can use large sandwich bags or white bin liners for wrapping and keeping things seperate, and take a square or oblong bowl for washing up even and put the box in it. We do.
And you can chuck the boxes and bags if they get spoiled or worn.
More free ones available anytime.
Have a good time.
Eating al fresco is OK...well Al didn't think so till we told him what it meant...
....have fun.
