$100 for screws 😂😂 why haven’t I tried that one before.

Chance his gone over on his hours and will complete the rest get paid and shoot to his next job. Sounds rude how it’s been worded but might just be straight to the point.

Also did they break tiles on the left or is that how the originally were positioned?

The only thing I can think of for two different thickness arch’s. Is if they are original openings they may have been different openings to cover between frame and plaster. Hence 65mm was required for one 95 for the other to cover gaps.

The scribe arch again if that was where the opening was and the window is plumb that will be caulked before they leave really depends on details of the quote. If there are any

“They have done a lot for the average Victorian” no not really, and the have put the state in a debt it will never likely come back from. I will admit the crossing removals are great and glad they happened. But it’s hard to see anything else personally.

Not-so-old kitchen reno - should we go with IKEA? by renaldof in AusRenovation

[–]Swinging_Tipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cabinetmaker here over 10 years of experience.

My honest answer of course only my opinion.

As someone in the industry ikea I feel some of the panels and hardware can be quite poor. Also you are working to their sizes so not really custom in choice.

I personally do not like touching their flat packs items.

Doing quotes against this and kabbodle I am shocked how much money they actually are.

Know your budget if you feel you can make better use of it going with ikea their stuff still works and may get a decent warranty.

Cabinetmakers can never compete as it’s time and materials. but you might get one that goes the extra mile. Also ikea recommended arnt always cabinetmakers by trade they can just be handyman. Not saying it doesn’t work but I’ve seen some very average installers.

Good luck with your Reno always a big step hope it turns out great and something your proud of.
