Fitting Kitchen Worktops In Bristol
August 29, 2008
Some of the abodes I have seen are quite amazing. It’s like being in topsy turvy world! The roof runs one way out of level, the floor runs the other way. If you’re trying to do jobs like second fix carpentry, some of the angles you have to deal with can give you stupid brain ache!
One of the major problems with these houses is the non existence of any substantial foundation. They were pretty much slapped up as fast as possible to give the newly arriving workers a place to live. It’s amazing they have been with us this long really.
During the first fifteen years of their lives many of the dwellings have moved and as such many internal walls have become distorted. This frequently gives rise to a wedge shaped room with all the lovely angles that entails.
If you have ever had the thankless task of setting kitchen worktops in Bristol houses you will know these angles better than most. You’d be wise to brush up on your intermediate wood butchery skills before attempting this kind of job.
Once you’ve done a few it does get easier and you could just become a dab hand and scribing those worktops into those bendy walls. In fact getting it right can even be very satisfying. Good luck in your endeavours!
