Thanks Nydj There seem to be long delays on carpenters especially. I have been explaining this many times to DH and it took a month to get this carpenter in who DH just sent away as he said he couldn't do work until January. But I have got through to DH. I got him to call the carpenter he claims he is using next week and he was
when the guy (who I first contacted around a month and a half ago) won't even come until next week for a quote and won't give a date. He also said he was coming this week after taking 3 weeks to reply to e-mail. The carpenter also mentioned that everyone is calling him and he gets them all mixed up.
So I decided maybe we need to learn carpentry ourselves. Probably me as the only DIY DH has done was putting a handle on a kitchen cupboard door and he put it on the hinge side. I discovered the plumbing to a dishwasher normally goes in the next cabinet when its was a built in kitchen before that was custom made. So that's another reason that DH can't have the fridge under the sink like he wanted. I have no idea why he thinks its a good idea to put an electrical item under the sink anyway. The plumber already told him it was not a good idea and was not physically possible but then he decided he would get another plumber.
Asked DH how we would need to alter cabinets for adding dishwasher whilst I looked it up and he came back with we need to take the whole kitchen out and DH said he can take electrics out himself (this is illegal so he is not going near them) but DH said he can't do taking shelves out. He suggested unscrewing the worktop and seeing if the rest just collapses.
Then he came up later with a more viable plan very excited that he had worked something out of just taking the unit out where we need the dishwasher to go and putting it to the side of the unit with sink in and to the side of unit with electric plug in.
I really hope the plumber can get the carpenter he knows to come for the dishwasher, rest can be sorted in January.
I was wondering where Prok was too. I am still doing Duolingo Russian. I probably should be doing carpentry instead though.
