Rethink kitchen unit

The kitchen unit has 2 cupboard doors below the drawer, and in the scheme of things they weigh a lot! So had a rumage and remembered I'd got some tambour doors that might be long enough. I did, they do! 

I've two that are long enough infact a little to long but you can remove slats easily. 

So, removed the cupboard doors and hinges (amazed how weighty they are!) 

To allow space for the opening spirals and then access to top shelf, I need to drop the shelf to midway, but the fresh water supply and LPG filler hose as usual are in the way so will need to cut corresponding holes in the shelf on left side. No big deal just cut a little and check etc to keep holes as small as possible! Marked the shelf from underneath but will cut about half away to start as there is some flex in the LPG pipe.

Once that's in, need to fit a central pillar to fix the runners onto, with width allowance for the spiral at the top below the drawer. 

Nowt happening today as it's raining and no where else to use the jigsaw in the dry! 

On a weight saving issue, I was amazed just how heavy the doors actually are compared to the lack of weight of the Tambour ones! Despite the obvious that is 😂
