Bought a house, estimated the renovation budget plus 10-15% for inevitable extras, and we set aside 5000 EUR for the kitchen!!!!
That’s how it started... at first, I was in a bit of shock, but we still had time. First step: remove all the walls for a new layout—I need space...
Let’s start with the (according to the agent) move-in ready property. The small kitchen, just under 8 square meters (about 86 square feet), had its 1970s pass-through removed. The wall including the kitchen door is gone! The wall next to the cellar stairs is gone too! Actually, the entire slanted wall, nearly 7 meters (23 feet) high, removed completely...
The window had to go as well since we needed a different working height than the standard 90 cm (35 inches). New screed installed, we switched to underfloor heating, all electrical wiring and water pipes are new.
After almost six months, the realization slowly sank in: the kitchen budget will not exceed 5000 EUR, so we had to look for a used kitchen... something special, but very cheap.
The search criteria: within a 100 km (62 miles) radius, up to 1000 EUR, because I still want new appliances.

Smart aleck mode: Wine does not turn corked just because the bottle was stored upright.Plain mode: The cork dries out, and when opening the bottle it crumbles. That’s quite unpleasant! But "corked" might not be the right term here. Anyway: drink up!

Nice kitchen. But the wine is stored incorrectly – you’ll have to consume it quickly, or else you’ll get cork taint.Selfless as we are, we would be happy to help with that, wouldn’t we?ypg schrieb:

There is a consistently humid environment inside the bottle, so the cork does not dry out even if the bottle is standing upright. This is a long-disproven myth.
