First DIY sink installation - how did I do?
I haven’t tested it yet as I need to silicone the waste from sink, tap hole, edges of sink first.

After a year since rolling my ankle and dealing with accessory navicular syndrome, i have been offered a surgery date.
I have worked with a physio trying to strengthen my post tib for 8 weeks now but I’m not making much progress and I’m not confident I will as I’m 130kg at the moment but never less than 110kg as I’m tall. I have had very flat feet my entire life but it has never caused me an issue until the ankle roll.
My consultant surgeon has suggested lateral column lengthening surgery but I pushed for the kidner, so we are doing both at once. The surgeon has said the recovery will be 6 weeks in a cast followed by 6 weeks in a boot followed by rehab.
Has anyone had either of these operations? I’d be really interested to hear your experiences around it and the recovery process. Any success or failure stories?
Or any advice? It has crossed my mind that I’m rushing into the surgery after only committing to conservative measures fully for 8 weeks but the success rates aren’t high for ANS compared to surgery. I’m desperate to get back to sport and feel like even if conservative measures gave me some progress due to my very flat feet, weight and returning to a barefoot sport (Thai boxing) the surgery is a better option at this point.

Keen DIYer here…
The photo is an ai generation of how I want to box in my boiler.
I’m thinking that to the right I put a pivot hinge and the connect that to the left piece with a double swing hinge? Then I’ll be able to open it for boiler access?
Ignore the worktop gap I’ve since fully fitted the L shape worktop.
I’d be using the sound panels available at b&q as well.

What else would I need to do this?

I have made a cardboard cut out but what tools / technique should I use to actually cut these inserts out? They are 5cm deep.
My intention is to box this area in so I can accept some imperfections but ideally I want to do a proper job here
Second photo is reference of worktop being used
