Tenderloin-
Bottom 2 photos are the old setup?
I'd be ashamed to post any pics if the bottom work was mine. It was just a shambles and a made for a useless cupboard.
That bottom pic looks interesting...
I found out today that upwards sloping waste pipe fucked me over as the sink wouldn't drain. Well, it would but slowly and under the floor 😞
The goop that had collected in the low point must have gone down the cast iron stack that finishes just under the boards and blocked it. Fortunately the outside leg to the drain was easily accessed and flushed out with the garden hose pipe (now connected)Being as the outside tap pipework needed to go around the waste stack under the floor, I resorted to a short length of plastic after a couple of attempts to get the the copper lined up.
Shelf cut out and feeling kinda happy with how it looks.

My parents bought a second hand kitchen just before the lock down and collected it two days before restrictions started, so its been an absolute pain in the arse. They had the old kitchen which they had started to dismantle, and the new one in the living and dining rooms and unsurprisingly joiners weren't too keen on making it fit when it needed an extra 300mm base unit and a replacement sink unit as it was like Swiss cheese from the plumbing.
Getting a couple of extra base cabinets should have been not too bad, except there wasn't any stock available, so a close match had to do, with the big difference being 10mm less depth at the rear of the cabinets.
Today's epic was getting the sink out, and moving the plumbing 200mm along and getting it sat in place ready for the worktops being measured up tomorrow...Like, thanks for that.
The main pipes under the floor, were imperial size but had more fittings than pipe from previous changes, so they were pulled out for a fresh start. Also replace and reroute the boiler condensate pipe which had 11 fittings in a 2.5m long pipe.
It still needs the outside tap connecting to the bottom shutoff, but I'm fairly happy nothing leaked and it looks a darned site better than before, even with a compression tee being substituted for a squashed inline solder fitting at 8pm.
