Having just deleted 2 more kitchen advert Spammers  I was just wondering why any kitchen seller would target smallholders ................. anyone out there bought a new kitchen?  and if you did,  did it come with oven for lamb warming, muck resistant flooring, some where to store all the medicines, a surface to pluck and gut on etc   ........................ what would you need in a new kitchen??

[bloomer]

they are one of the more bemusing spam posts we get i agree...


most smallholders are more interested in barns and fencing, maybe i could spam my fencing services???

What I want to know is why the Camellids keep buying new kitchens? That board seems far more spammed than the others lately? 

[bloomer]

i ask myself the same question daily apparently camelid keepers are interested in all sorts of weird stuff (according to the spammers)

Err, new kitchen being fitted right now, but there again I've only just started at smallholding

id love a big wood burning aga with a back boiler. solid wood kitchen tops, Belfast sink, and wooden units. big kitchen table and one of those wooden clothes lines on a pulley that stay up high. and an oven big enough to take a whole pork leg.

I took a Belfast sink out last year. I hated it. Yes it was bit which was good but it was sooo deep that it made my back hurt hunching over it. Love the new ceramic double sink I have had put in instead.

You've just described our kitchen, and every silver lining has a cloud, LOL!
 
Wood burning Aga:  Actually poo brown coal burning Esse. Spreads ash everywhere, boils when there's a powercut, yet goes out when you least expect it to, and spares increasingly hard to come by!
 
Solid wood worktops:  Get stained every time you turn a tap on, but yes, I do like these.
 
Belfast Sink:  As Bionic says, great if you like washing up somewhere near knee level  .
 
Wooden Units:  Ours have woodworm.
 
Pulley System:  Now this IS fantastic.  Except it's mounted too close to the Esse, so it singes the bottom of your trouser legs if you drop it down too far and aren't careful!!
 
Oven: Yes, it's huge, but it takes about a week to get up to pork cooking temperature, and by that time everybody's walking around the house in shorts and t-shirts. We do most of our cooking in a gas oven instead  .
 
 
So, I'm sorry to be negative, but I thought I'd put the flip side of the argument to you. The truth though?  We wouldn't change it for all the world  .

I had the kitchen partly renovated and had granite put in round the sink and food prep area the other bit of worksurface is solid wood. The conbination works well. Granite is also good for pastry making and wood for bread (yeast doesn't like the cold)

Ours were staining until we finally got round to resealing them and now no problemmo.  I love our kitchen, its the same as you describe with range, wooden surfaces, belfast sink - my dream kitchen finally 

[Merrie Dancer]

how do you reseal the wood surface? is it a wax?

[plumseverywhere]

Yes kind of. When we had it fitted, the man showed us how to sand it (really fine sand paper) and then there's a proper sealant stuff that you can buy in a tin from anywhere that sells wooden work surfaces. You can't use the surface for a while as it dries but its brilliant and instead of water sinking in, it stays on the top as little droplets

Plums, isn't that called polish???

I love my kitchen too.

Re-conditioned oil Aga, wooden units the local chippie's apprentice built, that hides my fridge. Belfast sink - wonderful for getting buckets & watering cans in, and for making up lamb bottles. What's this washing up thing folk complain about? Slate worktop, cheap, as the posh lady in the village ordered them and then decided she didn't like them - so the builder did me a deal. Wonderful as needs no attention and looks great.

Tiled floor as I never take off my boots when I come in and neither do the three dogs.

Pulley - airer, for the 360 days a year when it's either too wet or cold to dry things outside. Means whenever I have visitors my smalls are on view - but hey.

I live in the kitchen. My loom room is a little room to the side, my iPad is on the kitchen table.....only go elsewhere to sleep (and wash I suppose, sometimes)
