    I found myself a cabinet maker who works for a kitchen company and he is going to help me out and even supply some bulkheads and filler pieces. He's coming on Saturday to start installing to wall cabinets and the best part is he said he doesnt even need to be paid, he would just like to give me a hand with it
    His name wouldn't be Toddles would it? .

    Damn, thats a good deal!

    I'm really glad that sentence ended with "with it", and not "job"

    What is really interesting is how some houses probably alternate between one configuration and another.

    Case in point: my wife and I were thinking that a sliding door would be better for the entrance to the bathroom. Imagine my surprise when I removed a part of the gyprock wall (for other purposes), only to discover an internal slider hiding in there!

    So, the house started its life with a sliding door to the bathroom (recently confirmed on plans), then the previous owners replaced with a hinged door, and now we're thinking of putting it back.

    There was a young boy called Wyatt
    Who was awfully quiet
    And then one day
    He faded away
    Because he overused White

    We cut out 100mm of gyprock, inserted noggins, regyprocked, flushed and then attached the cabinets. The base cabinets we didnt bother with noggins as they are on legs anyway, but used plasterboard anchors (plastic spiral things)as well as screws.
    Guess the project wouldnt be complete without the sparky installing the wrong sized power points for the oven and cooktop so waiting for him to come back and fix it
