More more more!
I am really curious to see the final results. The brick wall is indeed impressive! Wish I'd have the courage to even start such a project. Though my kitchen is in need of a change.

This mornings shenanigans involved a gap in a pvc door frame, my good self and a can of expanding foam!

:dunno:

Unforunately I always make the mistake by saying to myself, "Hmmm, doesn't seemed to be expanding much, I better spray some more in!"

Expandingly Good Fun ! ! !

It seemed to tidy up ok though after I hacksaw'd through it flush to the wall...

Also I have been staining some spare cut off sections of wooden ceiling cladding to see what colour will make it into my kitchen...

Beech, Rose wood, Dark Oak and Dark Oak with 2 coats

I'm liking the Dark Oak with the single coat (second from top) so far but I am going to wait till it's fully dried and soaked in before I make up my mind...

done a really good job though, well done. :thumbright:

Like the reveals in UPVC for a kitchen. What exactly did you do them with ...a special reveals plastic or just exterior 'sofit' cladding?

ive used 9mm capping board for covering sills before & works well, :dunno:

why i never thought of doing reveals with it, probably not everybodys cup of tea, but neat & tidy in my eyes.
Good thread db and great work keep it up. :thumbleft:

Yes, they are GU10 fitting LED downlighters, very bright with a great spread of beam angle, really pleased with them, they are easily as bright if not brighter than 50w halogens I have owned previously, they shine a nice clean white light...and at 4.5w per downlighter all 6 of these little suckers wont burn as much juice as just one 50w halogen lamp.... :huray:

eBay was my friend with these LED down lighters wine~o, they are of course more expensive than standard halogen lamps at around £9 per GU10 lamp but with a money back guaranteed 50,000 working hours still has to be a huge saving on future replacement lamps and electricity bills
