My fridge freezer died so I've taken this opportunity to buy a big **** off American style fridge freezer.
Needed to remodel the kitchen to fit it in.
Where the old fridge was is getting converted to a large cupboard and I'll be putting a new rad in on the wall next to the door. Means the laminate has to come up and the pipes to be cut into the concrete floor.

Looking good mate, will the project be finished by next summer? [HASHTAG]#PatioStep[/HASHTAG]
 
I doubt it.
Doing the rads will be a pain. That's what's gonna hold things up.

You'll be fine mate. Have to admit I don't really like the idea of large fridge freezers in enclosed cupboards, I always think it will cause a problem with the chilling system because of the heat generating from the back of it, although probably not.

Easily solved .. just bang a big hole in the wall behind it with a lump hammer ...<whistle>

One summer I'd turned my beer fridge up a bit too high, and it's not one of those counter size fridges, it's a full size fridge. Anyway it had built up a massive chunck of ice on the back, so me being me, I thought I would turn it off and de-ice it. Anyway forgot about it and walked into the kitchen later, and thought what's all this fooking water on the floor! Not sure where I thought all the water was going to go. <doh><laugh>

My brother has one built into a cupboard, got the specified gaps around it and they're having issues with overheating.
Found the pipes, just gonna run them straight down behind the skirting and across the room under the laminate.
Gonna run a spur off that double socket down to where the pipe is now for the fridge freezer.

have to say thats exactly what thought :emoticon-0150-hands
That's an integrated fridge freezer that went kaput. Quite expensive to replace. That one was £800 quid 10 years ago.

If you've ever had integrated devices you'll know that they're extra ****in small inside. ****in horrible to use.
Anyway, I wanted something bigger and more cupboard space which is what this solution provides.
