a smoking angel Oo
Horse? What have YOU been smoking???? It's clearly a cow.
No, Tristan - it was a white horse with black spots that was exceptionally fat and short
/sarcasm
no new kitchen updates?
I heard he'd moved onto the bathroom tiling :P
(I didn't really hear that. I wouldn't want to start rumours about Scawens DIYing)

Yeah, can we have some pics of the new renovated kitchen Scawen?
(So we can photoshop them :evil:... but shhhh! He must think that we are genuinely interested in his new kitchen so that he gives them)

Can we have a guided tour of the house via a photo gallery 
I'm sure Scawen is careful about which pics to post, especially if they contain him, his cat, or any other living thing.
But that cat was amusing!!! Is he a nice friendly cat, or one of these sullen moody types? My brother has a cat that scares everything, including a Doberman (huge huge dog). Any other pets?
How about a few of us get together (yay, another LFS meet!) and do an impromptu 'Thorugh the Keyhole' on the devs houses. "Which dev lives in a house like this?.."

Scawen plumbing is one thing ,however please dont DIY with the electrics it can bite without warning not that I dont think you are up to it or anything , but after seeing you as an angel (cloud n all) wouldnt want anything to happen to our fave dev lol.

Don't want to start a flame war, but many here will admit that it's been some time since the last kitchen update. Now don't all jump down my throat, I know it'll be ready when it's ready, but all I'm asking for is a small comment, just something like "I bought a new wrench" or "I got my arse wet yesterday".
I understand Scawen has professional tasks like the rest of us, like coding some other trifling hobby he has, but really, I've invested a lot of time and effort into following this kitchen developement, I think we deserve a regular update.
I know other Devs working on home improvements don't post info about their DIY projects, and that's what makes this project so special, but it's not much to ask, just a small update, a pic of a leaky tap, anything . . .
Perhaps a poll would help. Give us further details of the unfinished project right now. We'll give feedback and assist with the completing of the plumbing as you need it. Then we could pre-commit to a second or maybe even third project in the future. It's what we're here for, after all.

WEEEEEEE!!! /me chants "update"
lies, get back to work! we dont pay you to build sheds!
:P
:P
WHAT?!?! Scawen is building a shed? We want pictures!! We want updates!! How about now that P(lumbing)1 is finished, what is in store for P2? Perhaps a garbage disposal? I'd like to see that. Or maybe an undercounter water filtration system? Maybe that will be an update for P3!

Maybe that will be an update for P3!I guess from your handle that you've got a vested interest, but provided you know what you are doing and work carefully and systematically, DIY electrics are perfectly safe. Course you have to do your homework, and only ever do something if you are 100% sure you are doing it right, but its not exactly rocket science.
And now you have get it certified under part P anyway.
lol GC nice move
Well the cat died I guess... lost too much blood when getting it's foot stuck and mashed under one of Scawen's MacGyver tools

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time
Now THAT made me laugh.
This is a sad moment, GOD's cat is...RIP
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

Thanks for the plug Fordie I really should get my site finished , but that means even less time for online racing hehe
spot on Col
Part P was introduced this year to prevent DIY disasters and to ensure electrical work is carried out or at least tested by qualified personel , However the part P domestic installer scheme (available to the almost unqualified) does not cover kitchens or bathrooms (or sheds LOL) if anyone really really wants to DIY with the wiring in their own house and even 100% confident , please please SWITCH OFF THE MAIN SWITCH to the whole house before doing anything and get a qualified electrician (NICEIC registered) to check it out straight away .That said I'd have to recomend not to DIY with electrics unless competant.
Wow that was so off topic ... sry ok back to topic (almost)
What type of shed do you prefer shiplap or TnG? creosote or cupronol?
and Im curious what have you plugged the tap hole (in the garden) up with ?
SD.
