Aye, that’s a piece of piss and a lot cheaper to get done than getting new furniture but I guess they don’t teach common sense in xlookup 101. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak tea is forbidden in my house. Needs to be a shade dark enough to have Farage in a tizz. We have no MArvel or Newcastle mugs in the house because apparently Mrs Fish hates fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10744 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 30 minutes ago, Renton said: Can you return the washing machine and get a slimmer model? I'm guessing that will be far from ideal though. These things are sent to challenge us. I bought a large American Style fridge freezer only to find even with the doors off it wasn't getting through the kitchen/diner door. In the end had to move it out into the back garden through patio doors and back into the kitchen through the bifolds, scratching everything to fuck as it went and risking a prolapsed disc. I actually get anxiety thinking about what to do when it eventually needs replaced. We considered that, but two kids means more loads or bigger loads (ooerr Missus). I'd prefer not to have the thing on constantly costing more money on water and electricity, so we need a good sized drum. Also, having the doorframe increased would make life a little easier anyway. 26 minutes ago, ewerk said: Why don’t you just wedge the door frame off then put it back on when the washing machine is in? That's as much of a job as shaving a bit off it. And would only need repeating in 4-5yrs time when the new machine inevitably gives up the ghost.

Yeah Victorian Terrace, loads of character. If character means things going fucking wrong, or awkward-ass layouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell old paddy here lives in a house constructed from dry stone walls bound by sheep dung. Oh aye, of course, just take the door architrave out and hope the house doesn't collapse in on itself, genius. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a five minute job for anyone with half a brain. Which would of course rule you out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the way the space is, it would be a fucking ballache and, like I said, it's be a job that would probably need repeating in a few years. Much more sensible to get the frame shaven down a bit and tidied up so we never have to do anything with it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10744 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Ah the arrogance of the aged. Look, if you two want to come and do the job, taking full responsibility and financial burden should it not meet the exacting standards of an ornery bald gobshite, then by all means come and do it. I, however, would rather pay a professional to do the job right the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the fuck doesn’t have the necessary tools on hand to trim a wee bit of timber. Fuck that. My golden rule is, if the job is less than my hourly rate, then pay someone else to do it*. In this case it's 1.5 cm, you'd probably need to take a fair bit more than that in reality, you're not going to that with a plane. I wouldn't have a clue where to start and no way would I fuck around with removing architraves. * Admittedly as a result I have lost the ability to do any DIY beyond changing a lightbulb. And now they are LED probably forgotten how to do this as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
