Jim - next time you're race director you could put your own spin on it and break with tradition with STAR T much more appropriate :wink:

Kitchen design has come along a bit in recent years...

From a detailed sketch-plan on old-fashioned paper drawn up by Mick after a lot of discussion and thought...
MTMO
MTMO
To this produced by the kitchen supplier... Click on the link and explore and get a sort of 3D view of the kitchen :D

https://my-kitchen.howdens.com/plan/VQD0802944262DbQ

I'm impressed with that!

I'm hugely indebted to Mick for all his hard work on this project... Both in design and implementation :)

A bit of my old kitchen lives on in my garage :)

The old kitchen has been a bit further demolished and all the initial electrical work is now complete in my house...

Old kitchens are great for the garage upgrades (though old office furniture and filing cabinets are pretty good too - Facebook marketplace, though stuff doesn't hang about long unless well overpriced!

Much progress...

The old kitchen is almost no more now... Not long after this photo was taken, all the tiles were off...
20230914_073058.jpg
I will soon be taking up residence in my temporary kitchen in the conservatory. It's now prepared...
20230914_073118.jpg
The bad news is I'm now unable to bake any flapjacks until my new kitchen is in and functional...

And one more wall unit has taken up residence in my garage...
20230913_144820.jpg
I've made my stop-cock serviceable again. I'll need it to do the plumbing...

Years ago the handle fell off and disappeared under the floor of a unit... It was incredibly hard to turn..

I found the handle and nut yesterday and after lots of attention with Plus Gas, easing back and forth along with cleaning up and greasing the shaft, I now have a smooth, easily manipulated cock :)
20230913_144802.jpg
The 'puddle' underneath it is not water, it's a Plus Gas stain...

Onwards and upwards :) Still lots to do...

If that is going to be difficult to access Jim, have you considered one of these?
