Hi,
We installed our kitchen during renovation in 2000. We have now decided to lift the floor 75mm, which mean replacing the back door. While about it, we also want to add some more floor units, but are having difficulty matching the existing cupboard doors.
We bought the original units drom MFI, who are no loinger with us. I understood that the doors were Hygena, but my wife says NO. The doors are grooved Shaker style, with straight top rails, I memory says the colour was INCA ... a sort of deep pastel green (Can we post pictures here). The nearest I can find are by "www.kitchenrefurbs.co.uk", but not quite.Their Shaker Grooved doors have a curved top rail, and the grooves appear to be further apart. Their colour in their photo (heritage green) looks similar, but can I trust a photo?
Can anyone advise, pretty please? Does anyone have a MFI kitchen catalogue from 2000?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome. To intoduce myself .....
John Williams from Glynneath in South Wales, born just before WW2. My screen name w3526602 is my old RAF number, and I sign with my "last three" of 602. At my age it helps me recognise my own mails, but you can call me whatever you like.
In 1990, me and some mates build a 3000sq ft edifice (Planner's description), but sold it in 2000, bought a "hovel project" for £10,000, which I gutted and renovated. I'd like to do it again, but SWMBO says I'm too old. But I still keep plugging away at her. Whatever, we are currently going through the house, and improving some of what we did 12 years ago. We have met a problem matching the MFI kitchen units, which is why I joined this forum. But more of that elsewhere.

Magnolia aiming for World domination.

Hi,
We moved in in 2000, bringing a little magnolia sappling in a bucket, from our previous house. We planted it in the middle of the back garden.
The trunk is now about 8 inches diameter, and it is about 16ft high, with branches stretching about 12ft diameter AFTER I had hacked then back. The house soil pipe is within 8ft of the trunk. Much though I regret it, this tree is going to have to go ..... but how. Yes, I can cut it down with a saw, but how do I stop it sprouting again?
I wonder if this has anything to do with the local legend that a previous occupier buried lots of black-market margerine in the garden during WW2? The brambles were 8ft high when we moved in.
