Moving into my house over the next few weeks, and one thing we need to install is a dishwasher (if you ever saw the state of my kitchen, you'd understand why!).
Problem. There's no dishwasher space.
Now, along the sink side of the kitchen there are 3 sets of double cabinets (fairly normal), so I want to install the dishwasher to one side of the sink. There's a double cabinet directly beneath the sink, so immediately to one side.
From floor to under the bench will leave enough clearance for the dishwasher (it's 850mm), but we need to cut into the cupboards to create the space for the dishwasher.
As far as I can tell, the wall between the cupboards we want to remain, and just drill a hole along the back for the plumbing to go. So that means we'd need to pull out the shelf (probably needs cutting), cut that down in half and install a new wall inside the cupboard, reducing that to half size. That part should be pretty easy.
Remove the door, of course, and also cut into the part under the cupboard (between the cupboard and floor) to open that hole up.
As far as I can tell, none of this should be particularly difficult....anybody done this sort of work before? Anything I'm missing or being daft about?
After I create the space I figure I'd have to get a sparky in to create a connection for it (got a few other jobs for a sparky as well), then we'll get the dishwasher in and installed...
