Day 382: Getting stoned

With the Great Peninsula of Surbiton firmly fixed, on came the stone colour match cladding. 

This was generally pretty easy to do. Measure the gap, tape the ends and cut to length. I used my squeeze grips to hold in place and fixed with 30mm wood screws.

The back was a bit more tricky as there was a gap between the back of the cabinet and the cladding. So I had 2 options: 1) screw it on from the front and have the screws visible (the lazy way) or 2) find a way of fixing the panel from the back.Fearing that I'd risk losing my loyal following to this blog (a cast of millions) and be subject to the "your screw is showing" criticisms at home - I opted for the more challenging option. I put some wood to bridge the space and some corner brackets on the bottom. I'm sure that there is probably a much easier way to do this, but I couldn't think of one. 

So there you go, my peninsula is now stoned and looking fine. The cladding makes a huge difference to the overall look of the cabinets. And for the record, none of my screws are showing.
