Yeah it drains fine. I had a similar worry but the maths starts from where the sink drain itself is, which is a good 2 inches or so above where you can see the trap connecting to the bottom. I validated my decision by looking at the back of a few traps in Wickes and plenty finished higher. Two choices to my one that it works so time shall tell

One of the greatest kitchen fitting inventions ever
So much easier than L brackets.If you compare my abomination to this:
Answering my own questions:
3a Wouldn't bother, will be fine as is.If you compare my abomination to this:
The top of the nut that joins the sink drain itself versus the 90 degree nut are almost identical.

Had a bit of childcare help today so managed to do some of the worst bits (thank god). That included glueing some plasterboard in the ceiling gap the boxing used to be, and pulling out all of the old plaster. I then whacked in some first fix plaster and I have a bag of finishing stuff to finish it off.
Oh yeah, I also removed all the tiles and PVAed in prep for a skim.
I got super lucky the old hob fits exactly where the new one will go; the last kitchen I did - I went about 3 months without a hob (pre-COVID I was away 4-5 days a week anyway).
Tap comes tomorrow which I'll jerry rig something to hold it in place.

Answering my own questions:
1. Once again the floor is below DPC, so I've used some old clean gravel boards as "skirting" that doesn't bridge the DPC and is then caulked to its life to the floorboards and above the DPC slates/bitumen. It is now sealed.
2. Answered this one; I will leave a hole in the side panel LHS.
3A. I will probably batten this out, later....
3B. I cracked on as @Buffman suggested, so the Belfast unit has 3 full units to "pull" against now; to get level.
3C. As above.
So far so good... Dishwasher move is next on the list. The NEFF manual suggest going "up" into the Belfast unit, rather than through the side. Any profound thoughts?
It has been reconnected to the hob (temporarily). It is a brand new fitting as I only just had that gas pipe laid, so I trust it works.
Some uneducated fools needed correcting on the most superior theme. They labelled me the root cause of their nonsense point of view.Why are you called classic blue them?
Make sure you’ve got a good sharp blade. I used beech for my old desk and it was mega tough to cut with any cheaper blades. Had to splash out on an expensive one for about £30Just finished laying wooden flooring in our bedroom to finish off a few weeks of decorating. We bought an old lady bungalow a couple years ago and have been slowly renovating it. Our first baby is due in two and a half weeks so I have left it quite late, but insulating under floorboards took a while.
Still a few little things left to do like buying new curtains and a blind but I'm quite happy with how it has turned out.
Before:
As said I insulated the floors, then I took down the two double wardrobes on the right above and pieced them into the ones on the left to create a full wall of storage. Annoyingly only had six full length doors, so had to make do with three smaller ones and a false drawer down the centre. Looks a bit weird but I don't mind it.
I painted the walls and sanded, painted and lacquered the wardrobes. This was after one coat of paint.
Then today I laid the flooring, did it all in about 5 hours which I was happy with, even had to wait for the rain to stop a few times before I went outside to cut. Much quicker than my first go at it in the smaller office.
This room will eventually be part of the kitchen/diner once we have knocked through and converted the loft, so replacing the window with patio doors will be done in the next couple months in preparation. We will then buy a blind and curtains.
Next job this week is cutting and fitting our new desk in the office, will be wall to wall beech butcher block measuring 2.7m total. Will be nice to get it off the garage floor, although has only been there a couple days.
