Rich 2 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Sorry for your recent loss Girlscan... (Is there a better name we can call you )Dont worry about sharing your life story, its great that you posted such a nice introduction, and hopefully everybody here can help you as much as possible.I know from experience that kitchens are a headache if your trying to do them yourself, should you touch anything electrical as it all needs to be strictly certified, and done by a qualified electrician, which I think, if memory serves me, has to be "Part P" certified to do Kitchen and bathroom stuff (Somebody please correct me if thats wrong)Have you thought about Lego Technic for youor oldest?Its a fantastic tool/toy for those into engineering, especially kids, although I know a few adults who still enjoy tinkering with it today, me included Quote Link to post Share on other sites
