kitchen remodel thoughts (cabinets)

[redneck joe]

Funny, we took ours out and downsized. We just dont need a giant microwave. When you think about it how much do you really use your micro. That corner does not get used for food prep so really no wasted space but i am going to build a shelf for it and hang it using black iron pipe. Ill then be able to slide my veggie/fruit bowl underneath it

forgot how slowly oil paint dries. Did a coat yesterday mid afternoon and still wet.

Did you add the hardener ?

 

[redneck joe]

yeah still not latex tho'. I did turn off the air overnight on second coats and much better this morning I'll be able to recoat soon.

Strange .... Usually with hardener added you can re-coat after 3 or 4 hours ... :noidea:

 

[redneck joe]

dunno - but.....

Called my cabinet guy. His work has been spot on, one small design decision that may or may not work but way down on the importance list. He'll do the drawers and doors for $10 each, two coats inside and out, sprayed. I have 32 fronts. Done deal....

He is picking up today, we are out of the country as of Thursday until 10 July and they will be ready to install as soon as we get back. I should have the boxes all painted before we go.

 

[redneck joe]

well, getting started

got a coat of primer on but headed on vacation so just gonna leave until we get back. The last cabinet should be done and he should have the doors painted

 

[redneck joe]

well I've switched to google photos.


had to send the doors above the stove back for some tweaking and my guy didn't paint the back side of the drawers but here is it

 

[redneck joe]

and since we moved back to a countertop micro, I still wanted some free counter space. Used it for the first time last night, taco night (i know not tuesday) and the fixins slid under there well out of the way until it was time to set out and build the tacos.

There is a bar in bac for support. I'm thinking about adding two more next to the wall for looks. Thoughts?



Also hadn't got the new light in above the sink so exposed wires. Like my safety lockout?

 

[redneck joe]

new light commercial stove vent. The motor will be int he attic so very quiet. 1200 CFM so can clear the kitchen / dining area about once every 90 seconds. Hope to get in this weekend.


8" pipe.

and to show the almost before since photonazie is holding my pics hostage, we added small boxes over the existing plus new over the stove and sink. All new upper doors.

new vent with remote blower (in the attic so super quiet)

 

[redneck joe]

the vent is made for rich people 15" cabinets so I cut the wall and one stud (non load bearing) and set in deep. Still sticks out but only about .75" rather that 3 full inches
