Hi

I'm looking to start doing a (cheap) kitchen makeover - will be
painting pine cupboards and re-tiling wall and floors.   

It would seem that the most expensive bit will be an all-important
replacement of the worktop... what is the best (and by that I mean most
reasonable) supplier.  I am on a budget so guess granite is out of the
question.  Will I get quality (??) from any of the sheds??  Or should I
be looking elsewhere?  I also note that a jig for routing out the
connectors is c. 75....is this absolutely necessary - especially as
this will be the first and last time I ever try and undertake this
job!!??  

And finally should I be leaving this in the hands of a professional, or
is it truly DIY-able??

Any advice gratefully received!!
