Comments (38)This ia a really old article. My third drawer now houses all those 'one off' bits and pieces that don't warrant a drawer for themselves and their ilk. Amazingly, when I need...that thinamejig or whatzit that would do the trick its always in the thrid drawer. tangled up with all the other 'third drawer' one offs. So - third drawer for whatever you need! Pretty good system really. Apologies to the professional cabinet makers who cater to the super organised...drawers with partitions. Honestly, if I absolutely had to live according to the norm.."a place for everything and everything in its place" I'd go a bit batty trying to remember what was supposed to occupy what partition and I think, the way my mind works, I'd feel quite frustrated. I don't have time to be super duper organised down to the colour coding, the things of square or round shape, the plastics and the chinas...and I certainly do not posess a china cabinet where to display all the expensive and heirloom dinnerware. that would never get used...can't see the sense. In fact, I only have six drawers in my kitchen and a nice large 100yr old built in linen and pantry cupboard down the length of the hallway that was built to house the basic kitchen utensils and also has room for any modrn appliances. My kitchen is small, functional, individual ane compact, My beautiful wrinkly assistance dog has his own drawer...and he diligently takes out and replaces his "stuff". My bits and pieces live in the third drawer and when all is put way there's a sense of ease in my kitchen....See MoreWhat’s included in a builders square
Comments (10)1991_kid - I think you may have posted your sketch concept yesterday when asking about relocating your powder room? Floor area is measured to include external (and internal) wall thickness, even though the walls aren't usable floor area. A common newbie error is to not include the wall thickness in the calculation of squares. Your house looks very big, with a lot of perimeter wall, and when you include the perimeter wall thickness it will be much larger (and nore expensive) than you anticipated. The U-shape of the plan means that there is a lot of perimeter wall in realtion to the floor area, which will be counted in the squares, and add to your costs. A simpler rectilinear plan will be more cost-effective, easier to build, easier to roof, and more in line with your price per square expectation. I would suggest that you engage a local draftsperson to draw up your plan to scale, with the proper wall thicknesses so that your friendly builder has a better chance of giving you a rough estimate.

Comments (17)I’ve received different and conflicting advice. All of which seems valid. Lay first cause you may want to change kitchen layout. Guys....I have had my existing kitchen 20 years and it was here when we arrived. Add another 15 years. I’m in my 50’s...highly unlikely I will be changing layout. I’m choosing floating boards because I wanted to soften the otherwise very modern kitchen that I’m getting. Floating instead of actual boards because of $$. I don’t want to put tiles or concrete in case of a possible plumbing mishap. Positive vibes. Thanks to all for your advice....See Moregoneon
