How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

surely not an issue unless you've locked yourself in a small cupboard with said leaking tank

Carbon monoxide is another matter

I have a toaster, and coffee machine in a pantry unit. We have a piece of granite und the shelf above it to protect from the heat. I am guessing with an air fryer you could vent the back of the cupboard and have it plugged into a small fan that’s either switched or linked to a sensor that comes on when the doors are open. We have the strip lights on ours that work on the movement sensor when the door is open..

That’s a very posh cabinet, love it!

Prob more one for the DIY thread… been sanding and oiling the kitchen plywood. Proper gruelling business!

Username takes on a whole new light.

Grazie!

Thanks, not sure we could afford the same kitchen now…we ordered it in 2019 and it was installed just before the 1st lock down…

10% concentration can kill you, there’s 18m3 in a 47L bottle, which I reckon could flood a small/medium house to 10%. Fine in the day but I wouldn’t want to sleep there.

Hah!

@Fox managed to empty a cylinder into his house and lived to tell the tale 😂

Newly spotted in my neighbourhood - Not enough awful mid grey in your life? Then why not 'Paint The Drive™'

My neighbours have just painted everything in their garden the same grey, I expected them to do the lawn too

god that looks shit

Pretty seriously considering this workstation sink. Anyone used one before?

I looked at this sink for the utility room but in the end I thought the lip would get dirty and that a large stainless sink with extendable tap was the most practical option. It is cool and if you were shy on worktop space the ability to prep over the sink is pretty neat

the lip would get dirty because it would catch debris being swept from the countertop into the sink?

Yeah and because it's a sink it would just get grimey. We had grooves cut into our Corian worktop and despite not doing much washing up these still get grimey. Mind you we are in London and no water filter/softener so might be different for others. Commercial kitchens don't have those types of sinks afaik and that felt like as good a reason as any. I do think it's pretty smart and is nicely made, so doubt you'd be annoyed at the decision!

Would you recommend getting drainage grooves cut into the worktop?

Our worktop has been fitted already (basic bitch white quartz at a heavy discount), with no grooves but with the option to get them cut in-situ.

We had them cut in ours. They do get grimy but not a silly amount. That said I probably wouldn't get them again. Might consider a general very subtle slope towards the sink (our sink is built in/same material as the worktop) next time.

yeah I'd say I'm pretty ambivalent - it does allow water to drain into the sink which is obvs good but does get a lil grimey. I'm a big dishwasher proponent and generally do washing up in the utility room rather than kitchen sink - for larger trays/pans/dishes so it can dry out of eyesight

Thanks both; will wait until we're actually living in the house until we decide.

On this tip tho: what's everyone using as a draining rack?

We have one of https://theyamazakihome-europe.com/products/flow-drainer-tray?

and one of the Hay stainless steel ones.

I also recommend a stainless steel over sink colander which I use as a colander but have also use for drying cutlery etc

We have grooves but I'm not sure they make much difference and are a bit more difficult to clean.

Most stuff goes in the dishwasher. Things like knives and pans don't really need a draining rack

Best draining rack is just drying up after washing and putting away.
