I'd be tempted to try and fit it myself.
I've never done one before, but given that I successfully plugged in a washing machine the other weekend, I'm pretty sure these hands are capable of anything.

Kitchen fitting is basically big Lego
Its the electrics/plumbing that are the fuck on

mr b3th is accomplished at electrics and plumbing, to his credit.
Over the past 15 years I've helped him do so many repairs, I'd feel relatively confident having a go at some jobs myself.

Also, morning.

I am an artist.
Mere plumbing holds no fear for me. Electrics, though, those I'm terrified of.

I find the problems arise when you start mixing the two.

this must be why the moron who had my flat before me, and who specialised in bodged DIY,
decided that the perfect place to put the dishwasher was IN FRONT OF the electric meter. when I had the rewiring done when I bought it, it took the electrician bloody ages to find it. he couldn't get over the stupidity.

I'm fine with the theory behind it.
I understand it. I know how it flows and what current and ampage and wattage all mean. I understand why American appliances in British sockets just pop and why British appliances in American sockets burn the house down.

When it actually comes to sticking my hand in there, though. No.
