So. We moved out of my house into my g/f's bigger, better but in a much shitter area house that she was struggling to rent. Two weeks later a mate wants to move in.
He's living in an identical property to mine just down the road and the rent may as well come to me rather than someone he doesn't know.
I'm putting new carpets in throughout and doing a bit of painting but whilst it's empty this month I want to get a new kitchen in there.
However, I've never done it. It's not a big un. I don't want it to be expensive but I would like it to be robust enough to last. Just 6 or 7 60-cm wide by 35cm deep cupboards, a new worktop, a bit of tiling, new sink/taps etc. No replumbing, almost a like-for-like job.
Also, although I'll do the ripping out I'm certainly not competent to do the fitting so I'll have to get someone to do that for me.
Anyone experience of this incredibly dull-but-necessary job? Should I just plump for an IKEA kitchen or is there an equally cheap but infinitely better alternative out there?
Advice please
