Hi, we recently painted our cabinet fronts and changed the handles and they look like new doors and not painted at all. I did a lot of research into the correct paints and processes to use and am happy to advise if you go down that route. We also stripped our varnished oak worktops, restained with a white natural product to lighten and recoated.

If the hinges are in good condition and you are happy to keep them, it?s a simple matter of matching the door dimensions (including thickness) and attaching. Not so easy if you are buying doors (although sometimes you can get lucky)but very possible if you are making doors. B&q will cut wood to provided dimensions btw. Good luck.

      Peckham Rye Park Floor Alleviation - Progress?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Some of the problems with the drains are down to the council I think. There was a small lake on the northern side of goose green this morning (probably not a bad thing as it might float some of the dog waste out of the park into the drains eventually).  anyway, I saw it resolved by some bloke clearing the leaves on a drain in East Dulwich Road north (at least the bit in the road drained away and stopped flooding the park further). If the council cleared the leaves and streets more than once every three months these problems would happen less. There's plenty of surplus revenue from the roads so I dont understand why the council can't keep them clean.

      VW badge theft in ED - advice on next steps

      By KB77 · Posted

      Hi all,  We recently had the front badge stolen from our VW Golf, the car sensor is kept behind the badge and was also stolen. This was two weeks ago and since then have noticed other VWs around ED had also had the same issue, a badge and sensor stolen.  We've been quoted over £1000 from our local VW garage to replace these.  I am aware this has been going on for some time in South London generally (https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/04/vw-cars-parts-theft-cruise-control-sensors-insurance-golf-passat), which leads me to think... a.) It's VWs issue for this terrible design fault so why should we pay b.) If we do get a new sensor and badge the same thing will surely happen again, thus leading to further costs down the line I wonder if anyone else who had this issue is on the group? And how they dealt with VW? They are being very unhelpful and in our most recent correspondence said we 'should have kept the car in a garage' 🫠

      The long empty site at the top of Lordship Lane by the Library is now a cute little bar and restaurant -  Victus and Bibo.  We had a few beers there on Saturday night and it was very welcoming.
