Anyone on here ever had a go at fitting their own kitchen?
Husband custom built ours out of ply and salvage retro teak and glass doors. We planned it to be simple, eg a freestanding cooker and straight runs without corners so no joining worktops. We had the worktops cut to shape including the undermount sink cutout which he fitted with me as unskilled labour. He did the plumbing but not the gas. We also bought a 60s drawer unit (teak retro, matches the doors) rather than build a drawer unit, 'cos that's hard.
It's not the design level of some of the stuff shared on here but we like it.
Ours was even lower on the design scale but tastes, budget and minimal hassle requirements conspired to make something we both could not only live with but actually enjoy working and spending time in.
